For me, it’s all about the party appetizers. Skip the meal and give us a snack board with the best dips and appetizers. This goat cheese appetizer is one of my all-time favorite party foods because it’s easy to make and has the best creamy texture. 

​It comes together within minutes and is the perfect addition to a cheese platter. No baking is required; use a blender or mixer for whipping, and that’s it. I like serving it with fresh veggies, crusty bread, fruit, or pita chips. It’s the best dip! 

For the holiday season, you can easily alter it to add festive and seasonal toppings, like pomegranates.

Shopping List and Ingredient Notes

Here is a list of all the ingredients to make this whipped goat cheese dip:

Soft Goat Cheese – Goat cheese is made from goat milk and comes in different styles, from complex to soft. For this recipe, you want good quality, soft goat cheese.

Cream Cheese – A mild-tasting cheese made from cream and milk. Any brand of cream cheese will work.

Garlic – Garlic adds so much flavor to this recipe! 

Olive Oil – Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to create a creamy dip. 

Lemon Zest – The outer peel of a lemon is the zest. It creates a vibrant lemon flavor in the dip.

Fresh Thyme – Thyme is a perennial evergreen herb with a beautiful fragrance and flavor reminiscent of tiny green flowers. You can also use fresh rosemary or fresh basil, too.

Expert Tips and Variations 

  • Don’t be afraid to whip this dip! Whip a food processor or blender on high until it’s super creamy. You can use a hand-held mixer, but getting a whipped texture with a high-powered blender is much easier. ​
  • Whips up nicely when the ingredients are room semi-room temperature.
  • Make this dip ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. 
  • Make a double batch for a large party.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • You can add more or less garlic, depending on how garlicky you like it. You can also use roasted garlic.
  • Substitute the cream cheese with Ricotta.

Serving Recommendations 

This dip is an easy holiday appetizer and a crowd-pleaser! Here are some suggestions for what to serve with whipped goat cheese:

Crackers – Serve with an assortment of entertainment crackers or our favorite Rustic Bakery sourdough crackers.

Raw Vegetables – Fresh vegetables such as carrots, radishes, cauliflower, cucumbers, celery, peppers, and endives are all great options. 

Fresh Fruit – We recommend apples, pears, and strawberries for this dip.

Bread – Olive bread, easy crusty baguettes, bread sticks, or crunchy crostini. Make sure you toast the bread before with olive oil to give it a crunchy texture.

Chips and Pretzels – Classic chips and pretzels are a great combination. We love the pretzel crisps for dipping.
