- 4 coffee filter papers

- 130g soft cheese
- 100g blue cheese
- 125ml pilsner beer
- 2-4 cloves garlic, crushed (depending on how garlicky you like it)

Method
- STEP 1
To make cheese moulds use a small sharp knife to pierce holes in the base and sides of 4 styrofoam cups, spacing the holes about 2.5 cm apart. Dampen the coffee filter papers and line each cup with a filter.
- STEP 2
Leave all the cheeses at room temperature for about an hour.
- STEP 3
Warm the beer in a small pan then take off the heat. Put the cheeses, beer, 1 tsp salt, garlic and a hefty pinch of paprika in a food processor. Blend to smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
- STEP 4
Divide the cheese mix between the 4 lined cups. Put the cups on a small rack over a tray or large plate and put in the fridge overnight. the excess liquid will drain out of the moulds.
- STEP 5
To serve, unmould each cheese onto a plate, sprinkle with a little more paprika and serve with toasted rye bread and crudités.
