Blue Cheese Cheesecake

Read Review (1)

"A sensuous appetizer with a variety of textures and flavors. Use any type of fresh herbs you have available. Serve with an assortment of fine crackers." — MissEllaneous

Directions

Whip the cream in a medium bowl until stiff and season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1 ounce of the blue cheese, and mash the rest with a fork in a separate bowl. Stir in the basil, oregano and thyme, then fold in the whipped cream.
Place a 3 inch metal ring (or biscuit cutter) onto a serving plate, and fill the bottom with walnuts. Spoon the whipped cream mixture into the ring, and smooth the top. Carefully remove the ring. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese and grapes over the top.

This is very light - almost too much so, some cream cheese blended with the blue cheese then the whipped cream folded in would solve that. The fresh herbs really over powered even the blue cheese. I loved the walnut base - I coarsely ground the walnuts in a mini food processor - then tamped them down with my meat therm. covered in plastic wrap. Great presentation and looks stunning.
