Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 cloves Roasted garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large piece Cheesecloth
- 4 small molds Heart-shaped molds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wrap 5 garlic cloves in aluminum foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and roast for 30-40 minutes until soft and golden-brown. Once cooled, mash the garlic into a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and heavy cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and fluffy.
Add the roasted garlic paste, grated Parmesan, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring even distribution of the flavors.
Lay a double layer of cheesecloth over each of your heart-shaped molds, letting the excess hang over the edges.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the molds, pressing gently to fill each mold completely and remove any air pockets.
Fold the overhanging cheesecloth over the top of the cheese mixture, covering it completely.
Place the molds on a tray to catch any liquid that might drain as the cheese sets. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, gently unfold the cheesecloth and invert the molds onto serving plates. Carefully remove the molds and peel off the cheesecloth.
Garnish with additional fresh chives or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable crudités.
