Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor Essential for achieving a perfectly smooth blue cheese base.
  • 1 Electric Mixer With a whisk attachment, or a stand mixer, for whipping cream efficiently.
  • 2 Mixing Bowls One for the blue cheese mixture, one for whipping cream (preferably chilled).
  • 1 Piping Bag with Round Tip For professional presentation and easy serving.

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 4 ounce package cream cheese
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Combine blue cheese and cream cheese in the bowl of a food processor; purée until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Lift your beater (or whisk if beating by hand) straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into blue cheese mixture, stirring until creamy with no lumps.
  • Fit a piping bag with a coupler and round tip. Drop piping bag into a tall glass and fold edges down around the glass. Spoon blue cheese mixture into the bag. Gather edges and twist together to begin piping as desired.

Notes

For optimal smoothness, ensure both blue cheese and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before processing. The quality and pungency of your blue cheese will significantly impact the final flavor profile, so choose wisely. When whipping the heavy cream, use a thoroughly chilled metal bowl and whisk attachment to achieve soft peaks efficiently without over-whipping, which can result in a grainy texture. Always taste the blue cheese mixture before adding salt, as blue cheese naturally has a high sodium content. For an elevated presentation, consider garnishing with finely chopped chives, toasted pecans, or a drizzle of aged balsamic glaze upon serving.
