Bring goat cheese and cream cheese to room temperature. Mix them together until well combined. Divide the cheese mixture in half.

In one medium bowl, combine half of the cheese mixture with 2 TBSP of the Everything bagel seasoning and half of the chopped basil to make the savory flavor. Mix well until the ingredients are all incorporated.

In another medium bowl, combine the other half of the cheese mixture with the chopped dates and vanilla to make the sweet flavor. Again, mix well until the ingredients are all incorporated.

Chill both mixtures for at least 30 minutes.

In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining 4 TBSP Everything bagel seasoning and chopped basil to make the savory coating. Scoop the savory cheese mixture with a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and form into balls. Roll each ball in the coating until well covered.

Pour the chopped cashews into another shallow bowl to make the coating for the sweet truffles. Scoop the sweet cheese mixture with a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and form into balls. Roll each ball in the coating until well covered.

Refrigerate until serving time. I recommend storing them separately, so that your sweet truffles don’t end up tasting like Everything seasoning.

This recipe makes about 24 truffles of each flavor.
