Can I use frozen blueberries for the sauce?

Absolutely! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before using so the sauce doesn’t get watery.

What’s the best way to keep the log from getting too soft?

Chill it thoroughly—let it firm up in the fridge (or freezer for a quicker fix) before unwrapping and serving. If it gets too soft, a quick chill will bring it back.

Is there a way to make this without a microwave?

Yes! Simply cook the blueberries and sweetener together in a small saucepan on the stove over low heat for 2–3 minutes until the berries burst.

Can I make this log ahead of time for a party?

Definitely. Prepare the log up to two days in advance and store wrapped in the fridge. Just let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for best texture.

Instructions

Make Blueberry Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, add the fresh blueberries and honey (or your preferred sweetener). Microwave the mixture for 30–60 seconds, until the blueberries begin to expand and a few have burst. Mash the berries using a slotted spoon or potato masher until a thick sauce forms. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Place the berry sauce in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until it has cooled completely.
Mix Goat Cheese: While the sauce is cooling, cut the goat cheese into 6 pieces. Stir these pieces into the cooled blueberry sauce, gently folding to combine. Do not overmix—you want to keep some large chunks of goat cheese for texture. If the mixture is too soft, return it to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes to firm up.
Form into Log: Lay out 2 pieces of 15-inch plastic wrap on a flat surface in a plus sign. Place the blueberry goat cheese mixture in the center of the horizontal piece. Use the plastic wrap to shape the mixture into a log, wrapping first horizontally and then with the vertical piece, twisting both ends to seal tightly.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the log for 2–4 hours or freeze for 30–45 minutes until firm. Before serving, allow it to come to room temperature for easy slicing. Serve with crackers and enjoy!

Notes

Blueberries: Use fresh blueberries for best results and flavor.
Chill: Chilling helps the cheese firm up and makes shaping much easier.
Prep Ahead: You can make the full dish up to two days in advance, or just the blueberry sauce a day ahead and refrigerate.
Storage: Tightly wrap leftover goat cheese log and store in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
Freezing: The cheese log can be frozen up to 6 months; however, thawed cheese may become crumbly.
