Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre), room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 tablespoon honey, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or walnuts (for topping)
Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the room-temperature goat cheese, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of honey, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and light, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a shallow serving bowl.
Drizzle the top generously with additional honey.
Sprinkle with toasted pecans or walnuts and garnish with fresh thyme, if using.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, apple slices, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
For a savory variation, replace the honey topping with crispy crumbled bacon and chopped dates.
If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but the texture may be slightly less smooth.
You can prepare the whipped goat cheese base up to 2 days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add toppings just before serving.
