Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz goat cheese (softened)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme, chives, or parsley)
  • Honey (for a touch of sweetness)
  • Red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Combine cheeses and cream: In a mixing bowl, place the softened goat cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream. This combination creates the base that will be whipped into a creamy texture.
  2. Whip until fluffy: Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until it becomes smooth and airy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes and ensures a light, spreadable consistency.
  3. Add flavors: Incorporate the olive oil, garlic powder, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the whipped cheese. Mix again until all the ingredients are fully combined and evenly distributed.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings: Sample the whipped cheese and adjust salt, pepper, or other seasonings to your preference. You can also gently fold in optional garnishes like fresh herbs or a drizzle of honey to enhance flavor.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the creamy whipped goat cheese to a serving dish. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or a little extra honey if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the goat cheese and cream cheese are fully softened before whipping for a smoother texture.
  • You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less heavy cream depending on your preference.
  • This spread can be prepared a few hours in advance and chilled; bring to room temperature before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Try variations by adding roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, or herbs like basil for different flavor profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
