# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's done in 10 minutes flat, yet somehow looks like you spent an hour on it.
  • No baking, no stress, just pure visual magic that tastes as good as it looks.
02 -
  • Don't mix everything together before serving—the whole point is letting people see the galaxy before they eat it, then they stir and discover the flavors together.
  • If your goat cheese is too soft to shape, pop it back in the fridge for five minutes; it makes all the difference in getting those clean little spheres.
03 -
  • Freeze the goat cheese for 15 minutes before rolling it into balls—it holds its shape far more reliably and looks even more elegant.
  • The key to making this feel restaurant-worthy is respecting negative space; don't overcrowd the bowl, let the swirl and the stars breathe.
