  • 3/4 cup pistachios, chopped
  • 5 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Goat Cheese Mousse

  • 1 cup goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cream

Garnish

  • fresh figs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine graham cracker, pistachios, sugar and melted butter until mixture is wet. Press into greased fluted tart shell and up the sides evenly.
  • Bake in oven for about 15 minutes or until crust is toasted and dry.
  • To make the goat cheese mousse, add goat cheese and sugar to a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix until smooth and sugar is no longer grainy.
  • Scrape out of the bowl into a separate bowl. Use the mixer to whip the cream to medium peaks, and fold into goat cheese mixture until smooth.
  • Smooth goat cheese mousse into baked tart shell with an offset spatula.
  • Garnish with fresh figs and pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!
