Method
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, pour the heavy cream and gently warm it over medium-low heat until it’s steaming, but not boiling.
- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan-style cheese until it’s completely melted and smooth.
- Mix in the Asiago cheese until the cream is glossy and well-combined, adding a teaspoon of cream if it thickens too much.
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve to achieve a silky texture; discard any solids.
- Gently fold in the toasted almonds, chopped tarragon, orange zest, and a pinch of white pepper, if desired.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish lined with plastic wrap, smoothing out the top. Cover and refrigerate for 4–5 hours until firm but still scoopable.
Honey Citrus Drizzle
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar and honey over medium heat, gently bringing it to a simmer while stirring occasionally.
- Allow the mixture to reduce by about one-third until it achieves a light syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool completely; it will thicken as it sits.
Serving
- Once the cheese mixture is chilled, use a teaspoon or small scoop to portion it out into little mounds on a serving plate.
- Lightly drizzle the cooled honey citrus syrup over the cheese portions, and garnish with tarragon sprigs and an extra sprinkle of orange zest if desired.

Notes
This dish is best enjoyed chilled and can be served with crunchy crostini or fresh vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. The drizzle can last about two weeks.
