Whipped Hot Honey Goat Cheese
January 20, 2025
Introducing the dip that broke our test kitchen: Whipped Hot Honey Goat Cheese. Creamy, dreamy, and dangerously good! Pita chips? Potato chips? A spoon straight to the bowl? No judgment here. Made with goat cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and L&B Hot Honey, it’s warm, toasty, and just sweet enough to keep you dipping (and double-dipping). Perfect for winter — or really any time you need a cheese hug.
