Ingredients
- ½ cup blueberries fresh
- 2 tablespoons honey sugar, or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 8 ounces goat cheese log cut into 6 pieces
Instructions
- Make Blueberry Sauce: Add blueberries and honey, or other sweetener of choice, to a medium-sized bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until blueberries begin to expand and a few burst. Mash berries using a slotted metal spoon or a potato masher until a thick sauce forms. Stir in lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Place the berry sauce in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has cooled completely.
- Mix Goat Cheese: Cut the goat cheese into 6 pieces and stir into the blueberry sauce. Mix until JUST combined, it will be a little clumpy. You want some big chunks of goat cheese throughout. Return the mixture to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes, if needed, to firm up the mixture.
- Form into Log: Place 2 pieces of 15-inch long plastic wrap onto a flat surface to form a plus sign. Lay the bottom piece out vertically and the top piece out horizontally. Add the blueberry goat cheese mixture into the center of the horizontal piece of plastic wrap to form a log. (It’s OK if it’s not quite perfect yet!) Wrap goat cheese with the horizontal piece of plastic wrap, reinforcing the log shape as you do, and then again with the vertical piece of plastic wrap. Twist both ends to seal.
- Refrigerate the log for 2-4 hours, or freeze for 30-45 minutes until it becomes firm. Bring it back to room temperature before serving with crackers. Enjoy!
Notes
- Blueberries: Choose fresh for the best results.
- Chill: Letting the cheese firm up in the fridge will help in shaping.
- Prep ahead: You can make this dish up completely a couple of days early, or simply make the blueberry sauce a day before, but keep it in the fridge.
- Storage: Tightly wrap leftover cheese and keep in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze a goat cheese log for up to 6 months tightly wrapped in a freezer safe bag. Just know it will likely become crumbly upon thawing.
