Recipe Tester Feedback: "Don't skip past this one! When I first looked at the title I wasn't sure about it, but it's so yum! A beautiful gourmet cream cheese for crackers or a lovely dollop on top of a salad. I'm also thinking it would be a delicious base layer on a savoury tart... Delicious!" - Terri
