Vegan Cranberry Goat Cheese Pistachio Truffles

Note: I was sent samples of Spero Sunflower Cheese Products in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

It’s the time of year where having a few party appetizer recipes on hand can be very helpful, especially ones that you can create quickly and travels well, if needed.

I prefer to have some recipes that can fit different dietary needs, including an appetizer or two for dairy-free or vegan friends and family.

This recipe for Vegan Cranberry Goat Cheese Pistachio Truffles is made with Spero Alternative Goat Cheese. Spero, a plant-based company that offers sustainable and affordable cheese and egg alternatives, such as Spero’s Sunflower Cheese products. Spero has a bunch of yummy flavors of their cheese spreads, including The Goat, which is a smooth and tangy taste very similar to goat cheese.

Plus, this recipe is super simple and has just four ingredients!

Ingredients (makes 12 servings):

  • 1/2 cup roasted sea salt pistachios
  • about 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 (6.5 oz) container Spero The Goat
  • 1 baguette, sliced

Chop your pistachios and spread evenly on your cutting board.

Scoop out 1/2 tablespoon of the goat cheese.

Place a couple of dried cranberries on the goat cheese, pushing the dried cranberries into the center while rolling it into a ball in between your palms.

Roll the ball in your chopped pistachios and add to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have 12 balls.

Serve with the sliced baguette.

I love the texture of these, and the little pop of sweetness from the dried cranberries!

These maintain a soft texture, so they are great spread onto the baguette, or, if you prefer, you can add toothpicks and they can be little pop-able bites.

Be sure to check out all of Spero’s offerings, including their sunflower-based cream cheeses and cheese spreads!
