Goat Cheese Mousse With Mint Pesto

This recipe is from one of my friends at work who loves anything goat cheese.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups  loosely packed mint leaves
• 3  ounces  freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄4 cup pine nuts (seasoned and toasted)
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 8  ounces  appleton creamery plain  goat cheese
• 3⁄4 cup  lightly whipped heavy cream
•  mint leaf, for garnish

Directions

1. For Mint Pesto:
2. Combine the mint, parmesan and pine nuts in the food processor and process until finely chopped. With motor running, add olive oil, blending until smooth.
3. For the goat cheese mousse: Process the goat cheese in the cleaned processor until smooth. Add the whipped cream and blend just until incorporated.
4. Spoon the pesto in the center of a platter. Place the mousse directly on top of the pesto so that you just see the green pesto oil around the perimeter of the mousse. Serve with fresh bread slices.
