1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
2. Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over it into a rectangular shape, about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
3. Spread the chutney evenly over the surface of the cheese mixture, leaving about 1 cm (1/3 inch) around the edges to prevent overflow.
4. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and fresh parsley evenly over the chutney layer.
5. Using the plastic wrap to lift and guide the edge, carefully roll the cheese mixture into a log starting from one of the short sides. Roll tightly to ensure the layers stick together but avoid squeezing too hard.
6. Wrap the roulade tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
7. Once chilled, carefully unwrap the roulade and roll it in the finely chopped nuts, pressing lightly to coat the exterior evenly.
8. Slice into 1 cm (1/3 inch) thick rounds, arrange on a serving platter, and serve with crackers or crusty bread.
