Goat Cheese Custard and Cherries in Red Wine Syrup – Glam Radar
by Stacey · November 2, 2015
My friend Melissa from Veranda Interiors moved into her fabulous new home this week and I was dying to pay her a visit to catch up on life. I had the opportunity to tour her new house last night and it is fantastic in every way. Her kitchen is a dream, her pantry is picture perfect and her bar……I could go on and on. Did I mention her en suite; amazing!
A girl cannot show up empty handed. I had some fantastic cherries I picked up from the Farmers Market on Friday so I decided to make a cherry dessert. I often go to David Lebovitz for dessert ideas because he always has the most amazing ways of putting things together and he is brilliant in the kitchen. I found his recipe for cherries in red wine syrup and paired it with his goat cheese custard. I changed the white sugar out for unrefined sugar. Honey pairs so well with goat cheese so I used raw honey to sweeten the custard and I used coconut sugar in the cherries.
Goat Cheese Custard
- 5 ounces soft goat cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup goat mlk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla powder, paste or extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place four small ramekins into a deep baking dish.
- Blend all the ingredients in a blender or VitaMix until combined. Divide the mixture equally between the four ramekins.
- Pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins about half way up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Do not over cook these.
- Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature. Store in the fridge if you’re not going to eat them right away.
Cherries in Red Wine Syrup
- 1 pound cherries, stemmed and pitted
- 1 1/2 cups red wine, I used a cabernet sauvignon
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp potato starch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- In a medium pot add the cherries, sugar and red wine. Cook over medium heat until the mixtures boils, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl add the potato starch and a little water or red wine and mix together. Add this mixture to the cherries and continue to cook until it is thickened.
- Remove from heat and add extract.
I turned out the ramekins on a plate and topped with the cherries but I think I would leave the custard in the ramekins next time.
