Ingredients:
For the Base:
¼ cup warm honey (microwave for 10 seconds), mixed with 1 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika to make "hot honey."
For the Toppings:
2 tablespoons chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews)
½ crisp apple or pear
Handful of fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds
For Serving:
Brie or goat cheese
Soda crackers
Baguette slices
Instructions:
1. Prepare nuts and fruit:
Roughly chop the nuts. Using the Geedel manual vegetable chopper with the cross-shaped chopping blade, pulse the nuts into coarse pieces. Set aside. Peel, core, and chop the apple or pear into chunks, then pulse in the chopper into small dice. Optionally, spin briefly in the salad spinner to prevent browning.
2. Combine flavors:
In a small bowl, mix the warm honey with chili powder until well blended to make hot honey.
3. Assemble the platter:
Place a block of cheese on a wooden board or plate. Drizzle the hot honey around the cheese. Sprinkle chili crisp, chopped nuts, fruit dice, and fresh berries over the honey.
4. Serve:
Use crackers or bread to scoop up the cheese along with the toppings and honey.
Summary:
This platter is a celebration of creative freedom and flavor fusion. The Geedel chopper with container makes preparing various toppings incredibly easy—whether hard nuts or juicy fruit, it quickly processes them into the perfect size to enhance texture, adding a personalized touch to your sweet-and-spicy feast.
