I Don’t eat sugar! Super Healthy dessert without flour and sugar ! Celebrate the season with our No-Sugar Added Holiday Cheese Delight! Perfect for your festive table. ✨
Ingredients:
2 cups almonds, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened
1/4 cup dried apricots, unsweetened, finely chopped
1/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces goat cheese, softened
Directions:
In a dry pan over medium heat, lightly toast the chopped almonds until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted almonds, cranberries, apricots, olives, chives, orange zest, and black pepper.
Blend the cream cheese and goat cheese together until smooth and fold in the nut and fruit mixture until evenly distributed.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap on the counter and spoon the cheese mixture onto it, forming a rough log shape.
Roll the plastic wrap around the cheese, shaping it into a tight log. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and gently press the log into a bed of additional chopped nuts and chives if desired, to coat the outside for extra texture and flavor.
Serve with a selection of fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread.
