Pistachio Crusted Mango Cheese Log

Step 1

In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whip goat cheese until soft and creamy. Add finely diced mango and pomegranate arils and fold in gently.

Step 2

Place the whipped goat cheese mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, and roll to form a log, twisting the ends tightly. Chill until firm at least 3 to 4 hours, or longer.

Step 3

In a small pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add sage leaves and fry, about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until crispy. Remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel.

Step 4

Crush the fried sage leaves into bits and mix with the chopped pistachios.

Step 5

Spread the mixture onto a clean work surface and roll the chilled cheese log into the nut mixture until all sides are evenly coated.

Step 6

Wrap and chill – allow the cheese to come to room temperate when serving for easy spreading.
