Ghost Cheese Board

this idea

I’ve seen the viral ghost art trend many times over the last few years. It’s such a cute and easy project! So when I was planning for a Halloween party for next week, one of them came up and I thought it would be amazing to take that idea but make a Ghost Cheese Board using goat cheese!

I tried mine out by bringing a few packages of goat cheese to room temperature and whipping them in the Kitchen Aid for a bit and it worked for me. BUT I think using an actual whipped goat cheese recipe might make these little ghosts look even better! It’s a pretty simple cheese board overall but adding the little sesame seed eyes in with the kitchen tweezers can be a little frustrating if you don’t like tiny little exact movements haha! Totally worth it though!

Ingredients Needed for Ghost Cheese Board:

• goat cheese
• cream cheese and olive oil (optional)
• roasted black sesame seeds
• dark fruits – blackberries, black mission figs, concord grapes
• crackers
• icing spatula
• kitchen tweezers
