Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz (283 g) goat cheese
- 1 cup (227 g) vegan cream cheese (or light/regular cream cheese), room temperature
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsps almond milk (or any milk)
- 2–4 tbsps honey (plus more to drizzle)
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Angelic Bakehouse Crisps
Instructions
- Blend Cheeses: Whip goat cheese and cream cheese in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until achieving a smooth, cloud-like texture with maximum airiness.
- Incorporate Liquid: Stream almond milk into the cheese mixture while continuously blending to create a silky, uniform consistency that is light and spreadable.
- Season and Sweeten: Fold in honey and fine sea salt, gently integrating these flavor enhancers to elevate the creamy base with balanced, nuanced notes.
- Plate and Finish: Artfully spread the whipped cheese onto a serving platter, using the back of a spoon to create elegant, swooping peaks. Crown the surface with plump blueberries, delicate torn basil leaves, and a graceful honey drizzle for a visually stunning and palate-pleasing appetizer.
Notes
- Soften Cheese Properly: Allow goat cheese and cream cheese to reach room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free blending.
- Whip with Precision: Use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to incorporate air, creating a light and fluffy texture that distinguishes this appetizer.
- Control Liquid Ratio: Add almond milk gradually to prevent the mixture from becoming too runny, maintaining a thick and creamy consistency.
- Garnish Strategically: Place blueberries and basil just before serving to preserve their fresh appearance and prevent wilting or discoloration.
