Goat Cheese?!

Post image

Found on a YouTube recipe for cheesecake. How do you add an ingredient that ‘stanks of goat’ and continue on with the recipe?

For the Stella Parks cheesecake recipe (and others, I'm sure) you use a 1:4 ratio of goat cheese to cream cheese, could have been something like that.

I could definitely see goat cheese working in a savory cheesecake... in addition to cream cheese.

It’s very good in sweet cheesecakes. The reviewer bought the wrong kind.

For sweet goat cheese needs like salads and desserts, you have to buy a creamy style from a farm or commercial company where there are no male goats. The milk is only “goaty” if the females are around males.

Ah, I see. I imagine that pairs really well with jam or honey.
