250g goat cheese
200g cream cheese, softened

Directions:
Line a large plate or a baking tray with baking paper.
In a stand mixer, beat goat cheese and cream cheese together until smooth. Add garlic, half the cranberries, half the pecans and half the parsley and fold through with a wooden spoon or spatula.
