Ingredients
- Two 8-ounce logs goat cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup minced fresh dill
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped dried cherries
- 24 pretzel sticks
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Add the goat cheese, sour cream and salt to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Using a tablespoon, scoop out some of the mixture and roll it into a ball to form a truffle. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until you have 24 truffles. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 10 minutes.
- Put the dill and sesame seeds into separate small bowls. Mix the walnuts and cherries in a third small bowl.
- Roll 8 of the cheese balls in the dill, 8 in the sesame seeds and 8 in the walnut and cherry mixture. Transfer the truffles to a serving platter. Insert a pretzel stick into each truffle. If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate the balls without the pretzel sticks, then insert the sticks right before serving.

Reviews
Way too salty – added 2 more logs of goat cheese and sour cream and it still didn’t cut the salt.
So easy and tasty. I didn’t like the sesame seed. Next time I’m going to try using everything bagel seasoning instead.
These are really good. I might try using plain yogurt next time instead of sour cream. Also, this would make a great spread on a cracker or melba toast. You could add a thin slice of cucumber and small sprig of dill. It is definitely a keeper.
For all you cheese lovers out there, this is one for you!!
Delicious, super fast to make and couldn’t be easier.

I attempted to make these today. The flavor was great but I don’t know how you made these into balls. The batter was so liquid it was impossible to roll. I was really disappointed, ended up piping onto dried apricots.
