Ingredients
6 slices bacon
4 ounces goat cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon mild honey
Pinch dried chili flakes
1/3 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh herbs
1/2 cup unsalted pecan halves
Appetizer skewers
Directions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on a paper towel. This can be done several days in advance; store in the fridge until needed.
In a food processor, combine goat cheese, cream cheese, honey, chili flakes , a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Blitz for about 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and pulse a few more times to fully combine. Transfer to a small bowl and freeze for 10 to 20 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid. . Wetting your hands in cool water helps to cut down on the mess.
Gently press the coating into the cheese to make it stick. Stick a small stick or skewer into your cheese balls and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. The pops are best the day they are made, but will keep just fine in the fridge for several hours before serving.
