Grape and Blue Cheese Truffles Tweetcipe

I hope you like these little appetizers as much as my clients do!

GRAPE AND BLUE CHEESE TRUFFLES

4 oz cream cheese, softened

6 oz blue cheese, softened

3 T port wine

1 cup pistachio nuts, ground but not too fine

1 bunch seedless grapes, red or green

Mash the softened cream cheese and blue cheese together in a bowl until combined. Pour in the port and mix until blended.  Chill for 30 minutes.  Grab a bit of the cheese in one hand and a grape in the other.  Put the two together and roll the grape around in your hands until it is completely covered with the cheese.  Roll the cheese covered grapes in the ground pistachios.  Chill until ready to serve.

Note:  Don’t make these too far in advance or the pistachios get mushy.  A nice way to present the truffles is to place them in martini glasses with toothpicks.
