Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread

During the holidays there are so many parties and get-togethers to attend. One of my favorite foods to prepare and bring to any party is this homemade Boursin Cheese Spread.  

I don't mind the actual Borusin Cheese you buy in those fancy little packages. They are delicious. The only problem is they are so darned expensive for such a tiny little package. And one little package is never enough!

Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread is so economical and the recipe makes a huge amount! You can take some to your party and keep some at home for nibbling later!

You do want to make this cheese spread several hours ahead of time so it has a chance for the flavors to meld together and for the cheese to setup. I decided to mold the cheese to make a nice presentation. You could also just put it in a nice serving bowl.

  2. Fill the bowl with the cheese and then wrap the plastic wrap over the top and chilled for 2 hours. A white bowl filled with a soft cheese.
  3. To remove the cheese, simply unwrapped the top, placed the cheese upside down on a plate. A small white bowl placed upside down on a plate.
  4. Remove the bowl and then remove the plastic wrap. A cheese ball with a piece of plastic wrap covering the surface.
  5. Any imperfections on the cheese can be smoothed out with a knife or the back of a spoon. A small cheese ball on a small plate.

You can really impress your guests by serving this cheese spread along with homemade rustic crackers?

      Hi Nicole, I have not tried freezing this cheese before. I don't know if it would freeze well or not.
      Thanks!

    I LOVE Boursin cheese, but you're right about the cost. And I had to stop buying it a couple of years ago, because I would literally eat the whole thing myself in a few days :)I had no idea it was so easy to make at home! Will have to make this for sure

    I seriously LOVE the idea of making this yourself! Full disclosure: I just discovered the magic of boursin cheese spread a couple of months ago. I would really rather make it on my own, though! So glad you shared this recipe!
