Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put dried cranberries and pistachios together in a food processor. Pulse for about 30 seconds to one minute. You want the mixture to be chopped but not a complete powder. It is okay if some turns to a powder, this is perfect for the blend to go into the cheese.
  • Remove 1 cup of the mixture from the food processor and set aside. This will be used to crust the outside of the cheese. Leave the more finely chopped cranberries and pistachios in the food processor.
  • Add maple syrup, ginger powder, cinnamon, salt, pepper, cardamom, brie, and goat cheese to the food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Lay out a sheet of parchment paper. Scoop the cheese mixture into a log shape on the parchment paper
  • Roll the parchment paper around the cheese and shape into a log shape
  • Place the cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes, or until it holds together
  • On a fresh piece of parchment paper, spread out the remaining chopped dried cranberries and pistachios. Roll the cheese log over it so that the mixture covers the outside.
  • Remove the parchment paper
  • Serve on BurgerFit burgers or crackers or both!
