Instructions 

  • 1. Make the oil. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    3. Meanwhile, make the whipped goat cheese. In a food processor, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and honey. Pulse until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes stopping a few times to scrape the sides of the bowl a flexible spatula. Taste and season with salt.
    4. Spoon the goat cheese into a serving bowl, then c over the Calabrian chile oil. Top with basil and serve bread, crackers, and/or vegetables for scooping.

    Can you suggest another cheese to use. Unfortunately I’m not fond of goat cheese at all but would like to make this recipe. Would using all cream cheese be possible?

    1. Tieghan Gerard says:

      Hey Mary,
      Sure, cream cheese would be great! You could also do feta or ricotta cheese. I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions!

  2. Devin says:

    Could the goat cheese whip be made ahead and kept in the fridge?

    1. Tieghan Gerard says:

      Hey Devin,
      Totally, that would be perfectly okay for you to do! I hope you love this recipe!
