Ingredients
- 4 oz (110 g) blue cheese
- ⅓ cup pecans (roasted)
- 9 oz (225 g) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Add crumbled blue cheese to a saucepan.
- Add heavy cream and heat on medium heat stirring occasionally until the blue cheese crumbles have melted.
- While the sauce is heating, place the roasted pecans into a plastic bag, close it, and beat using a meat pounder until the pecans are chopped into smaller pieces but haven't yet turned into a powder-like texture.
- Once the cheese has melted, add the pecans, chopped dills, and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Notes
- The dip will initially be runny but thicken when cooling. If you refrigerate it, it becomes thick and needs to be reheated to return to a liquid state.
- Use Gorgonzola for a milder taste or Rockefort for a more intense flavor.
