Make this creamy, tangy whipped goat cheese dip quickly for an easy and impressive appetizer. It pairs well with crackers and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fresh goat cheese (chèvre), softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the softened goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it is completely smooth and light, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a serving bowl.
  4. Drizzle the top evenly with 2 tablespoons of honey.
  5. Sprinkle the toasted, chopped pecans over the honey.
  6. Serve immediately with crackers or bread, or chill for up to 2 hours before serving. Drizzle with a little extra honey just before serving if desired.

Notes

  • To toast pecans, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant.
  • For a holiday variation, substitute the pecans with toasted walnuts and add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dried cranberries to the dip before whipping.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, but you may need to whip for a longer time to achieve a smooth texture.
