Goats cheese and greek yogurt mouse with blueberry compote

It is an absolute treat when you have a source of fantastic fresh ingredients.  I only use the goats cream cheese from Tveitakjerring in Tysnes and as I had a dinner to plan and a container of goats cream cheese in my fridge, it was a pretty easy decision on dessert.  (You can of course use any soft goats cream cheese)

A wonderful balance between sweet and sour with the addition of a blueberry compote and the best part is that it only took me 15 minutes to make, then it is into the fridge to set until you are ready to serve dessert.  You could of course add toasted pistachios or any nut of your choice for texture.

This dessert is definitely worthy of any summer lunch or dinner!  Well, I could probably have this for breakfast as well!

Bon appetite!
