Ingredients
Simple ingredients are the key to this fresh dip. You’ll need a food processor and a hand-mixer or stand-mixer with a whip whisk.
- Fresh strawberries – you’ll need about 8 – 10 large sweet strawberries to equal 1 cup of diced strawberries
- Honey – a few tablespoons of your favorite local honey
- Goat cheese– you’ll find plain goat cheese logs in the delicatessan area of your grocery store
- Cream cheese– grab a block or two
How to make strawberry goat cheese
This only takes a few minutes to make!
- Set the cheeses out at room temperature first
- Rinse and pat strawberries dry with a paper towel; remove stem and core; dice into small pieces
- Place diced strawberries and honey in a food processor and pulse until smooth (you will have to scrape down the sides of the processor to thoroughly pulse the berries)
- Transfer strawberry puree to a medium size mixing bowl
- Add room temperature goat cheese and cream cheese
- Use the whisk attachment of a hand mixer or stand mixer and whip until the cheeses and strawberry puree have combined to a smooth consistency
- Scoop the strawberry goat cheese into a decorative serving bowl
- Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve the whipped dip
- Garnish with crumbled goat cheese and a fresh strawberry
- Serve with a spiced cookie like Lotus Biscoff cookies, Archway Windmill cookies, water crackers or as a spread for bagels.
Recipe Tips
- Buy a good-quality goat cheese: not all goat cheeses taste the same; I recommend Murray’s Vermont Goat Cheese
- Pulse the strawberries until they’re liquid; you may have to scrape down the sides of the food processor in order to get the berries to a thin consistency
Serving suggestions
This strawberry goat cheese spread is perfect for showers or luncheons! It is best when served with a spiced cookie, like Lotus Biscoff cookies, or Archway Windmill cookies.
