Whipped Goat Cheese Ingredients
- 10.5 oz goat cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 tablespoon honey (or hot honey)
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
Topping Ingredients
- ¼ cup fig jam
- ¼ cup shelled pistachios (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon candied orange peel (diced)
Instructions
- Add room temperature goat cheese, cream cheese, honey, and orange zest to a food processor. Blend until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spread whipped goat cheese on a serving plate, creating swoops with the back of a spoon. Spoon the fig jam over the top, then drizzle with an extra swirl of honey. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, candied orange peels, and fresh rosemary. Serve with crackers.
Notes
- Not a sweets person? Try a savory approach! You can get a really elegant dip with fresh thyme, caramelized onions, and prosciutto.
- Make sure goat cheese and cream cheese are softened at room temperature before whipping.
- A food processor is ideal because it'll get you that perfect silky texture without leaving any chunky bits, but you can also use a hand mixer if you don't have one.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
