Ingredients

12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bottle chutney (recommended: Cross and Blackwell Major Grey's)
Crackers, for serving

Directions

Place the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until it is firm like whipped cream. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick.

Line a 6-inch coeur a la creme mold or 6-inch sieve with a few layers of cheesecloth, allowing the excess to drape over the sides. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top of the cream. Place the mold on a plate or suspend the sieve over a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to serve, unmold the creme upside down onto a plate and pour the chutney over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Serve chilled with crackers.

Carr's makes a wheat cracker that will be perfect with this- it's sweet almost like a cookie. As for a topping- Fig Jam-... yum.Read more

Incredible Appetizer
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Saw this episode last week and thought this would be a perfect addition to a wine tasting I was hosting. This appetizer was... incredibly simple to make and looked beautiful on the table. I used a mango ginger chutney from Trader Joes and my guests RAVED. Everyone really enjoyed this very impressive dish. The lemon juice and zest give it a great flavor. I will definately be making this again and again when I entertain.Read more

A different topping?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bet this would also be wonderful with Jalapeno jelly in place of chutney, just for a change

Thank you Ina, I just about had it with Brie..........and now I can enjoy the appetizers once again.Read more
