I made this for my book group and it was a big hit. So easy to put together. The only thing I would note is that it needs to sit at room temperature for a while in order to be spreadable. Thanks for a great recipe!

My favorite thing to make when we have company is a Charcuterie Board. This year, I plan on trying this Goat Cheese Spread, to put on it.
For dinner I like to make a Beef Tenderloin, which I put in the Sous Vide, and then sear at the end. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!!

This is a great recipe to keep in my back pocket. I usually have goat cheese on hand, so it would be fast and fancy. My favorite holiday treat is pumpkin cheesecake. I make it a couple of times during the holiday season for different groups.

I love that description “fast and fancy” – totally couldn’t agree more, this dip is just that! Your pumpkin cheesecake sounds so good!
