Angel of Death Cheese Spread image

Supposely because of the large amount of garlic in this recipe it is bound to keep away the angel of death--thought this sounded interesting and delicious and although I haven't made this yet I will be making this cheese soon. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (May 1981)

Categories     Cheese

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic, seperated into cloves
8 ounces ricotta cheese, room temperature
4 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled, room temperature
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sage leaves
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Line a strainer with cheesecloth.
  • In a small saucepan filled with boiling water over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 15- 20 minutes or until garlic can be piered with a knife. Drain well and let cool. Transfer garlic to a garlic press in batches and force through press. Measure out 2 tablespoons and set aside.
  • Beat ricotta in a medium bowl until softened. Add gorgonzola and continue mixing until smooth. Beat in cream.
  • Stir in salt and reserved garlic.
  • Dampen a 12 x 18-inch piece of cheesecloth and wring dry.
  • Arrange two sage leaves bottom side up in center of cloth.
  • Spoon cheese mixture over leaves, leaving a loose ball.
  • Tie ends of cloth together, pressing cheese mixture into a shape (a heart shape is easy to do and looks nice).
  • Transfer to cheesecloth lined strainer and set the strainer over a bowl.
  • Refrigerate for at least 24 hours (or up to 4 days).
  • Unmold cheese onto a platter.
  • Please walnuts over the entire surface of cheese.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Let stand at room temperature for one hour before serving.
