Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp Chutney (mango or your preference)
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Curry powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup Chopped mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
- Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chutney, green onions, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, blend the ingredients together until smooth and evenly combined.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and spoon the cheese mixture into the center.
Using the plastic wrap, shape the mixture into a ball. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to secure and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Before serving, place the chopped mixed nuts on a large plate or shallow dish.
Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and gently roll it in the chopped nuts, pressing lightly to ensure the nuts adhere evenly to the surface.
Place the finished cheese ball on a serving platter. Serve with crackers, vegetable sticks, or your preferred dippers.
