Instructions

Prepare the Truffle Filling

Combine cheddar cheese, butter, almond paste, powdered sugar, and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent it from setting too firmly.

Shape the Truffles

Roll small portions of the cheese mixture into balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
Make a small indentation in the center of each ball.

Create the Chocolate Center

Melt the dark chocolate according to package directions. Spoon a small amount of melted dark chocolate into the indentation of each cheese ball.

Chill & Garnish

Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes, or until firm.
Once chilled, drizzle with chocolate syrup for garnish.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For a smoother truffle filling, use a food processor to finely grate the cheddar cheese before melting.
If the truffle mixture is too stiff, add a teaspoon or two of heavy cream to achieve a workable consistency.
Experiment with different types of chocolate – milk chocolate or a combination of dark and milk would also be delicious.
For a more elegant presentation, roll the chilled truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before drizzling with chocolate syrup.
