Ingredients (∼20 pieces)
|
The ingredients must be at room temperature. Whisk the cheese, the sour cream and the 2 tablespoons fresh cream in the mixer… |
 …until the mixture is smooth like cream and homogeneous. Refrigerate for about an hour, so it's easy to work with. |
Crush the peanuts and set aside for later. Choose seedless grapes, such as sultanas. Wash the grapes and pat dry on absorbent paper towels. |
Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator, get a spoonful in hand, put at the center a grape and shape with your palms a little ball. There is no need for a large quantity of cheese. A thin layer around the grape is enough. |
 Roll the ball onto the ground pistachios and place it on a tray or bowl. Repeat until the cheese mixture is over. You should get 20-25 cheese balls, depending on the size. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. |
