Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tbsp Butter, softened
- 2 tsp Curry powder
- 3 tbsp Chutney (e.g., mango chutney)
- 2 tbsp Green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cashews, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 pack Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened butter. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
Add the curry powder, chutney, green onion, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the center and shape it into a cylinder or ball, depending on your preference.
Press the chopped cashews evenly onto the surface of the cheese pate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Wrap the cheese pate tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pate to firm up.
Before serving, unwrap the pate and transfer it to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Serve the curried cheese pate with crackers or vegetable sticks.
