  • 1 8-inch serving dish

Method
 

Whip the goat cheese
  1. Process the goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a food processor until smooth and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Top and serve

For the fluffiest texture, use softened cheeses and scrape down the food processor as needed. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. Serve with gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free option.
