This fun party dish has it all... It's sweet, tangy, creamy, crunch, salty, and addicting. This year I have fallen in love with goat cheese... It's so creamy and yummy and you can do so much with it. I made this for a "Girls Night". There was only three of us so it's a small portion, but let me tell you, we could not gobble it up fast enough! (Sorry my lactose friend! I promise next time I will remember... I promise!)
The Line Up:
Goat Cheese
Fresh Raspberries
Blue Agvae Sweetener
Roasted n' Salted Sunflower Seeds
Not the best photo in the world, but those are the ingredients.
I started with a half of a log of Goat Cheese.
Then I rolled the cheese in a heaping amount of Roasted Salted Sunflower Seeds.
Then drown it all in Blue Agave Sweetener. This looks like honey, but it's not. I guess it's similar, but there are no little bees involved... only a cactus... a cactus that makes TEQUILA! Yes you read that right. The Blue Agave plant that produces Tequila also produces this very yummy very sweet "honey" like sweetener. I love it ! it's not as thick as honey, well at lease this brand is not, but it's very sweet... I've even use it in my coffee with wonderful results.... I'll have to do a full post on the stuff some time.
Then I sprinkled a handful of raspberries all around.
I forget what these crackers were... but they worked perfectly.... I'll have to ask and get back to you on that one.
A heaping amount of cheese and a raspberry rounds out this wonderful flavorful bite.
Mmmmmm blurry cheese! I highly suggest making this for your next party!

May I make a suggestion? Next time, rather than sprinkling the sunflower seeds, roll the goat cheese in the seeds. You may want to crush the sunflower seeds a little to break the "oil" and flavor out before rolling the goat cheese in them. Plus, your presentation won't look as "messy" with all those extra sunflower seeds around.
ReplyDeleteI will try crushing the seeds next time... that sounds like a good Idea.
ReplyDeleteI believe I did try to roll the cheese in the seeds, but I thought spreading them out on the plate to "catch" the extra Agave Sweetener was a good Idea... BUT if this was to be served with other types of rolled goat cheese I definitely would not let it spill all over like that.
THANK YOU for the suggestions ! :-)
