  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Crackers or toasted baguette slices for serving

 

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine goat cheese and cream cheese. Process until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add honey, lime zest, lime juice, and salt. Pulse until well combined.

  3. Transfer the cheese mixture to a bowl and fold in half of the diced mango, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  4. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl.

  5. Top with remaining diced mango, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  6. Drizzle with a little extra honey if desired.
