This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I was amazed at how yummy these were. I've made a few batches of bourbon balls, chocolate orange balls, etc., and I'm amazed at all the variation in measurements and yield. This one was right on, except I did up the cocoa to 1 TBSP because I couldn't taste the chocolate otherwise. I also added a dash of salt to bring out the sweet. It was just the right texture, wasn't messy on my fingers as I was forming the balls either, perhaps because of the liqueur. I poured confectioners sugar into a paper plate, placed 4 balls at a time, and gently shook the plate to coat them - much faster that way. I got exactly 48 balls from this recipe.
