Ingredients for Catalan Cheese Walnut And Honey Dessert

  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 4 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 8 tablespoons honey

How to Make Catalan Cheese Walnut And Honey Dessert

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/2 cup walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  2. Once cool, coarsely chop the toasted walnuts. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 ounces goat cheese and 4 ounces ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among four small ramekins or dessert dishes. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm slightly.
  5. To serve, gently unmold the cheese mixture (if using ramekins) onto individual plates.
  6. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of the toasted walnuts and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
