Indian Cheese and Nut Dessert Balls

This recipe comes from Sundays at Moosewoood Restaurant, page 320.

1 1/2 cups chenna
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 tsp grated orange rind
2-4 tsp orange juice
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds or pistachios (we needed LESS)
optional garnish: mandarin oranges

Place the chenna in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients, except the nuts and orange sections. Mash until smooth with a spoon or your fingers. Form the mixture into a dozen or so walnut-sized balls (We made them smaller.) and roll each ball in the chopped nuts to coat. Chill until ready to serve.

If you've used freshly made chenna, these dessert balls will keep for 3 or 4 days if tightly wrapped and refrigerated.
