We are obsessed with cranberry whipped feta and will stop at nothing to discover every potential pairing of rich fruit jam and fluffy whipped cheese. This hot mango whipped goat cheese comes next.
If you enjoy the original recipe, you will fall in love with this one, which includes salty chopped cashews, spicy mango chutney, and fluffy goat cheese whipped with garlic and basil.
Make this the next time you have some friends around for a movie night or need a simple appetizer to bring to the office potluck.
Choose your preferred brand of crackers, bagel chips, pretzel thins, or crostini, but make sure it's heartier enough to hold up to the thickness of the dip. Sad when crackers shatter and become caught in the middle of a dip!
