Notes

  • Make sure the goat cheese and cream cheese are at room temperature. This will help whip the mixture into a lighter, creamier texture more easily.
  • Blend the ingredients very well to get that smooth, creamy consistency.
  • If the dip tastes too sharp, add more olive oil or even a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup to round out the flavors.
  • You can make the dip up to 2 days in advance and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. Transfer to a bowl and garnish right before serving.
  • Serve at room temperature for that perfectly spreadable, scoopable consistency.
