Ingredients: 11 ounces soft mild goat cheese at room temperature (about 1 1/4 cups); 1/2 cup heavy cream; 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, or to taste; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 pound fresh figs

If fresh figs are difficult to find, a delicious alternative would be toasts or crackers spread with preserves-fig or peach, for example. If opting for preserves, use only half the honey called for in the goat cheese mixture.
