Crust

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it down tightly.

  3. 3

    Pre-bake the crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat together the goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

  2. 5

    Add remaining ingredients

    Add the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and fresh herbs to the cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

  3. 6

    Fill the crust

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.

  4. 7

    Bake the cakes

    Bake the goat cheese cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Topping Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the topping

    Once the cakes have cooled, drizzle honey over the top of each cake. Then, scatter fresh berries on top for additional flavor and presentation.

  2. 9

    Chill and serve

    Refrigerate the goat cheese cakes for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled.
