Fruit and Nut Cheese Log

Serves 25

Ingredients

• 1 scoop (30g) Bulk Nutrients WPI, WPC, Protein Matrix+ or Thermowhey in Vanilla
• 250g cooking cream cheese
• 100g goat cheese or ricotta
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• Pinch of ground cloves
• 100g pecans - crushed
• 70g walnuts - crushed
• 70g dried apricot - diced
• 70g dried cranberries - diced

Directions

1. Chop nuts and dice dried fruits.
2. Place together in a bowl.
3. Add cheeses, spices, honey, vanilla and protein and mix well. Note: If cream cheese is too firm it will be hard to stir. Zap quickly in the microwave to soften.
4. Spread mix out on cling wrap, in a log length and thickness. Roll up and twist the ends to seal.
5. Roll on the bench a few times to create rounded log shape.
6. Place in the fridge to firm up. Give it a roll ever so often to maintain shape as it sets.
7. Remove wrapping and serve with choice of additional fruits, cheeses and biscuits to create a tasty platter.

*Best used a week from making. Not suitable to freeze.
