How to Make It
- Take out the Merkts cheese spread from the fridge before making the compote so that they are at room temperature.
- Prep the compote. Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, the maple syrup, water, lemon juice, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the remaining 1 cup blueberries and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat. The mixture will become thick and jammy as it cools.
- Assemble the dessert: In a large enough bowl, pour the Merkts cheese, then the compote.
- Enjoy with crackers (like graham crackers for example)
- A light drizzle of honey over the cheese spread can enhance its sweetness and create an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve with a handful of toasted nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to add a crunchy texture that pairs well with the cheese.
- Add a few shavings of dark or milk chocolate on top for a touch of decadence and a hint of bitterness that complements the sweetness of the compote.
- Use cinnamon-sugar-dusted crackers for a spiced twist on the classic graham crackers.
