Steps
To make the Savory Truffles easy no-bake recipe, first drain the ricotta very well in a colander, in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if it is not dry. Add the robiola and the grated cheese. Add a little fine salt and freshly ground pepper (powdered will also work) and mix very well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, distribute the various coatings in the plates, eliminating any lumps with a fork. Take the mixture, form balls about 1.38 inches in diameter, and roll them, one at a time, in the various decorations. Place the truffles in the baking cups.
The more colorful they are, the more beautiful the truffles will look. You can also mix the various coatings for a rainbow effect. Try to coat the truffles evenly. By multiplying the amount of cheese, you will get more balls depending on the number of your guests.
Store the baking cups in the refrigerator, in airtight containers, until ready to use and for up to 2 days. You can also choose colorful baking cups to highlight their beauty and cheerfulness.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
What can I substitute for robiola?
With a creamy spreadable cheese like Philadelphia. If the consistency turns out to be too creamy and not workable, add little by little grated cheese until you get a workable mixture
Can I use other grated cheeses like Pecorino or a mix of them?
Of course, in fact, they will be even more delicious and flavorful.
