Step

5 mins

In a chilled medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)

In a separate bowl, set aside 1 ounce of the blue cheese. Mash the remaining 4 ounces with a fork until smooth. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the chopped basil, oregano, and thyme into the mashed blue cheese, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed. (1 minute)

04

Step

Gently fold the whipped cream into the herbed blue cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. (3 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

Place a 3-inch metal ring (or biscuit cutter) onto a serving plate. Fill the bottom with the chopped walnuts, creating a nutty base. (2 minutes)

06

Step

4 mins

Spoon the whipped cream mixture into the ring, pressing gently to ensure it is evenly distributed. Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon. (4 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully remove the ring, revealing the elegant cheesecake. Sprinkle the reserved blue cheese and halved grapes over the top, creating a visually appealing finish. (2 minutes)

For the best flavor, use a high-quality blue cheese such as Roquefort or Stilton.
Feel free to experiment with different fresh herbs. Chives, parsley, or rosemary would also be excellent additions.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Serve with an assortment of fine crackers, baguette slices, or crostini for a delightful appetizer experience.
