Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 oz goat cheese, room temperature
¾ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
½ cup dried cranberries, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 sprig fresh rosemary, about 1 teaspoon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
⅓ cup freeze dried chives
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 star-shaped cheese cracker
White Cheddar and Chive Cracker, or crackers of choice, for serving
Crudité, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the goat cheese, pistachios, dried cranberries, orange zest, rosemary, maple syrup, salt, and pepper with a rubber spatula until well-combined. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before assembling. The cheese mixture can be made up to 1 day ahead. Refrigerate until ready to assemble and serve.
  • To assemble, transfer the cheese mixture to a serving platter and, using gloved hands greased with nonstick spray, mold the mixture into a cone shape.
  • Using dry hands, gently press the freeze-dried chives onto the cheese cone to adhere, making sure to coat the entire surface.
  • Insert pine nuts into the cone in the pattern of a garland. Dot the "tree" with more dried cranberries for "ornaments". Top with the star-shaped cracker.
  • Serve with more crackers and crudités.
  • Enjoy!
