Goat Cheese dip layered with peaches and mango.

This is my new favorite Summer appetizer. It starts off with a base of cream cheese and goat cheese, and is layered with peach preserves, fresh mango, peaches, and jalapeño. Then, it's topped with crushed pistachio and drizzled in hot honey.

It's quick, ridiculously delicious, and impossible to stop eating! Think flavor bomb.

Ingredients:

Goat Cheese: I recommend original goat cheese, so we don't get too many weird flavors going on.

Cream Cheese: Let it sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before whipping together with the goat cheese. If it's really cold, it will lump up.

Pistachios: No shell right out of the package will save you time, but you can buy shelled and remove them too.

How to Make this Layered Goat Cheese Dip:

Diced peaches, mango, and jalapeno on cutting board.

Step 2: Place the pistachios in a sandwich bag and hit with a mallet to crush into different sizes.

Step 3: In the stand mixer with beater attachment or in a bowl with a hand mixer, whip up the cream cheese for 30 seconds on medium speed. Add in the goat cheese and beat for another minute.

Step 4: Spread the goat cheese base on the bottom of the serving dish. Cover the goat cheese in a layer of peach preserves. Sprinkle over the peach, mango and jalapeño. Top with crushed pistachios and drizzle the hot honey over the dip.

Step 5: Serve with pita chips or triscuits for dipping. Enjoy!

Expert Tips:

Allow the cream cheese to come close to room temperature before whipping with the goat cheese to avoid clumps.
This dip tastes best the same day. The fruit will continue to leak out juices, which makes the dip watery over time.
