Learn how to make this incredibly creamy and tangy whipped goat cheese dip in minutes. Topped with sweet honey, this easy goat cheese recipe is perfect for serving with crackers or vegetables at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre), room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • Optional Toppings: chopped pistachios, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Place the room temperature goat cheese, heavy cream (or milk), olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides as needed. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Taste the whipped goat cheese and adjust salt or pepper if necessary.
  4. Transfer the creamy goat cheese spread to a shallow serving bowl.
  5. Drizzle the top generously with 2 tablespoons of honey.
  6. Sprinkle your chosen toppings, such as chopped nuts or dried cranberries, over the honey layer.
  7. Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, apple slices, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Make sure your goat cheese is fully softened to room temperature; this prevents lumps and helps it whip up smoothly.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but you may need to beat the mixture longer to achieve the smoothest texture.
  • For a savory twist, swap the honey for a drizzle of balsamic glaze and top with fresh thyme or crispy bacon bits.
  • This tangy cheese spread keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; let it sit out for 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
