Light, tangy, and airy, this whipped goat cheese folds whipped cream into soft goat cheese for a spread that is richer than plain goat cheese but still bright and clean.
Ingredients
- 510 g (18 oz) heavy cream
- 510 g (18 oz) goat cheese
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
Instructions
- 1Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a bowl with a whisk.
- 2Add the goat cheese, salt, and sugar.
- 3Fold together with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Cook's Note
Fold gently, overworking the mixture after the cream is whipped will deflate it and you will lose the light texture.
Best Served With
Spread on toast or flatbread, use as a base on a cheese board, or dollop alongside roasted vegetables or beets.
Why This Recipe Works
Whipping the cream first and then folding in the goat cheese lightens the density of the cheese without diluting its tangy flavour. The small amount of sugar rounds out the sharpness of the goat cheese.
Make It Yours
- Fold in a teaspoon of lemon zest for a brighter flavour.
- Add a drizzle of honey and some fresh thyme for a more savoury-sweet version.
Leftover Strategy
Keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to keep it from drying out.
