Ingredients for the base:

 

  • 6 low-fat digestive biscuits
  • 10 low-fat/reduced sugar plain biscuits
  • 2 tbsp clear honey
  • 2½oz butter, melted

 

Ingredients for the filling:

 

  • 5 fluid oz skimmed goat milk
  • 1 lb 2oz quark cheese
  • 10½ oz. fat-free Greek yoghurt
  • 6 leaves gelatine
  • 2 oz. cocoa powder
  • 3½oz super fine sugar
  • 2 free-range egg whites

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

To serve:

Directions:

 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F, line a 9in spring form cake tin with greaseproof paper.
  • For the base, put all the biscuits into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin until they resemble breadcrumbs. Place into a mixing bowl and add the honey and melted butter and mix well to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom of the tin.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool while you prepare the filling.
  • To make the filling, soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of ice-cold water for 10 minutes. Put the milk, cocoa powder and sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and the cocoa is completely combined. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Whisk in the gelatine and set aside.
  • Put the quark and yoghurt into a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and the vanilla seeds. Beat to mix well and then add the cocoa mixture. Beat until smooth and set aside.

How To Make Goat Cheese Dessert – Popular Gourmet Dessert Recipe

 

Why make goat cheese dessert?

 

A Goat cheese dessert makes a memorable ending to a meal. Soft, creamy goat cheese combine well with fruit. And the result is a less sweet dessert that still has plenty of richness and will leave your guest savoring the taste of a delightful ending. The goat cheese dessert recipe is made using a sesame seed crust. The recipe makes one 9 x 11 pan of bars

 

Ingredients for dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or evaporated can juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

 

Ingredients for filling:

  • 16 oz fresh goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup goat milk
  • 24 oz. frozen blueberries or 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp granulated Tapioca
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

 

Directions for dough:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F . On a cookie sheet, toast sesame seeds for 10 minutes until golden. Let the sesame seeds cool then combine in a food processor with 1 cup of flour. Blend until the sesame seeds are ground up and smooth.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and sesame seed mixture with 2 remaining cups of flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter in small chunks and mix until the texture is course, about 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla. Pour into dough while mixer is on a slow speed, continuing to mix until all liquid is absorbed. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the dough out of the bowl into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  • When the dough comes out of the refrigerator the consistency will be similar to cookie dough; soft and sticky. While working with the dough keep your hands covered with flour so the dough will stick to them less. Reserving about 1 cup of dough on the side, press the remaining dough evenly on the bottom of the 9×11 pan. Set aside and preheat the oven to 350° F.

 

Directions for filling:

  • With a spoon, mix together berries, brown sugar, cinnamon, tapioca and flour.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, gently beat goat cheese with egg, milk and vanilla.
  • Spread the goat cheese on top of the dough, then pour the berry mixture on top. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of dough over the top of the bars by pulling off small chunks of dough and dropping the pieces of dough on top of the bars.
  • Bake for 1 hour, until dough on top is slightly browned. Let cool before serving.

 

 

More suggestion:

You can also turn this recipe into a pie – just put the goat cheese and blueberry filling into a frozen pie shell.

 

Enjoy!
