Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fresh goat cheese (chèvre), softened
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Place the softened goat cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
- Process the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the cheese is completely smooth and airy.
- Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a shallow serving bowl.
- Drizzle the top evenly with the honey.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the honey.
- Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but the texture may be slightly less airy.
- For a savory variation, substitute the honey with finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh thyme.
- To make this ahead, store the plain whipped cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Add toppings just before serving.
