We make this one for our Wooten Hill House Shows, and it’s always a fan favorite. Whipped cream cheese meets hot honey and a drizzle of olive oil, finished with a generous sprinkle of our Candied Pistachio blend. Sweet, salty, a little spicy — and absolutely irresistible with crackers or warm bread.

Candied Pistachio Appetizer

Your new favorite party bite.


 

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (or milk, for lighter texture)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes)

  • Candied Pistachio (plus extra for topping)

  • Crackers, crostini, or flatbread, for serving

 

Instructions

  1. Whip the base:
    In a medium bowl (or mixer), combine softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and olive oil. Whip until smooth, airy, and spreadable — about 2–3 minutes.

  2. Add flavor:
    Fold in 2 tablespoons of hot honey.

  3. Serve:
    Spoon the whipped cream cheese onto a shallow platter. Use the back of a spoon to create swoops.

  4. Finish:
    Drizzle with olive oil and a touch more hot honey. Sprinkle generously with Candied Pistachio.

  5. Garnish & serve:
    Serve with crackers or baguette slices.
