Name: Cheese Truffles (Mini Cheese Balls)
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 18
Ingredients: Cream Cheese Filling (makes 18):; 8 oz / 250g cream cheese , softened; 1 cup grated cheese (tasty, cheddar or any other cheese with flavour); 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce; Salt to taste; Goats Cheese Filling (makes 18):; 10 oz / 300g goats cheese; Feta Cheese Filling (makes 18):; 10 oz / 300g Danish feta (Note 1); 1 cup grated cheese (tasty, cheddar or any other cheese with flavour); 1 tbsp sour cream (or approximately 2 tsp of milk or water); Coatings - to coat 18 balls in total (Note 2):; 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley and dill); 1/4 cup parmesan cheese , finely shredded or grated; 1/3 cup walnuts , finely chopped; 1/3 cup dried cranberries , finely chopped

1. Danish feta is creamy, almost spreadable, which is very different from Greek feta which is crumbly. For those in Australia, it is readily available at large supermarkets either at the deli counter or in the refrigerator section. It costs the same as Greek feta.

2. Each coating is enough to coat 4 to 5 cheese balls (to coat approximately 18 balls in total)

3. Here are some other coating suggestions (mix and match!):- Any other nuts and dried fruit- Any fresh herbs- Dried herbs (coat lightly as dried herbs are stronger in flavour than fresh)- Paprika, sumac, dukkah and other spices- Finely chopped cooked bacon- Sesame seeds (black and/or white)- Coconut and finely chopped apricots (this goes great with the cream cheese one)
