There’s always that one staple item on your menu that never
fails to impress guests. But chef Neha Deepak Shah’s homemade Herbed Cream
Cheese Platter is a culinary masterpiece, promising to transform your dining
table into a show-stopping experience. Crafted with simplicity in mind, this
recipe uses only basic and easily accessible ingredients — fresh cream, salt
and a vinegar-water mixture. The cream is gently heated until it begins to
simmer, and with the addition of vinegar, it thickens and curdles beautifully,
forming the base of the dish. After being left to rest at room temperature and
later chilled, the cream transforms into a rich, creamy delight that outshines
any store-bought alternative.
To take this creation to the next level, chef Neha suggests
mixing in pistachios, parsley, fried garlic, fried onions, black pepper, chilli
flakes, and a dash of pink salt. The result is a deliciously textured and
flavour-packed cream cheese, perfect for any gathering. This affordable yet
luxurious dish proves that high-end flavour doesn’t have to come with a hefty
price.
