On top of the square is a thick layer of creamy white spread with small green herb bits in it, spread in a circular shape. At the very top sits a cluster of glossy brown walnut halves, and some clear honey is drizzled over the walnuts and the cream, creating small highlights.

  • 75ml double cream
  • 20-30 walnut pieces

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme for a herbal note.

Storage

Store the whipped cheese mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Before serving, give it a quick stir. Best served fresh, but if it thickens, you can whisk in a little more cream to loosen the texture.

How to Serve

A square piece of golden, crispy fried polenta forms the base layer, textured and slightly shiny with a crunchy edge. On top, there is a thick, creamy white layer of soft cheese spread, smooth with a few small lumps. Resting on the cheese is a cluster of large, glossy brown walnut halves with a rough, patterned surface. A small drizzle of light amber honey pools slightly around the sides, adding a sticky shine. The dish is set against a green background with part of another similar snack slightly visible. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
