Goat Cheese With Lemon Cream Recipes

LEMON GOAT CHEESE CHEESECAKE BITES (GLUTEN FREE OPTIONAL)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 standard-size silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour(s), sugars, butter, vanilla, and lemon together on medium-low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place in the muffin cups. With the back of a spoon, press the balls into the bottom of each cup to form a disk.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the crust is matte (no longer shiny and raw-looking) on top--it will still be puffy and soft. Remove from the oven and cool while you make the filling.
• With an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, flour, egg, applesauce, and lemon zest and juice together on medium-low speed.
• Spoon the filling on top of the crust in each cup, dividing it evenly and filling each cup to the brim.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly browned. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before serving.

GOAT CHEESE WITH LEMON CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk sour cream and lemon juice in medium bowl until mixture resembles heavy cream. Let mixture stand in bowl until thickened, about 20 minutes. Place goat cheese on serving platter. Pour lemon cream over cheese. Sprinkle with chives and serve with crackers.

GOAT CHEESE WITH OLIVES, LEMON, AND THYME

Steps:

• Heat olives, thyme, oil, zest, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat until fragrant (do not simmer). Cool to room temperature.
• Serve olive mixture over goat cheese.

GOAT CHEESE ICE CREAM WITH FENNEL, LEMON AND HONEY

Steps:

• Put the milk, sugar, lemon zest, fennel seeds and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to just under a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, then turn heat to low.
• Place egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks to temper them. (This keeps the yolks from curdling.) Whisk yolk mixture back into the remaining milk in the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off heat and whisk in the goat cheese.
• Pour ice cream mixture into a bowl and set in an ice bath until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, cool mixture in the refrigerator for several hours.
• Churn mixture in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions, usually about 30 minutes. At this point, the ice cream will still be somewhat soft. Transfer about 1/2 cup at a time to a storage container, drizzling a little honey over each addition.
• Cover container and freeze for at least 4 hours, until firm, before serving. (Freezing the ice cream overnight is recommended.) Serve in bowls with blueberries, if using.
