Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Cream cheese
- 200 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams Butter, softened
- 60 ml Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- Crackers or bread slices (for serving)
- Plastic wrap
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, sour cream, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula.
Divide the mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
In the first bowl, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated.
In the second bowl, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives.
Leave the third bowl plain; this will serve as the creamy base layer.
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure it overhangs on all sides for easy removal later.
Begin layering the cheese mixture in the loaf pan. Start with the cheddar mixture, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Next, add the Parmesan and chive mixture, spreading it smoothly and evenly on top of the first layer.
Finally, add the plain cream cheese mixture as the top layer, smoothing it out gently.
Cover the loaf tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, leave it overnight.
Once chilled and set, carefully remove the cheese loaf from the loaf pan using the plastic wrap. Transfer it to a serving plate and peel off the plastic wrap.
Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped chives and sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for added color.
Serve with crackers or bread slices and enjoy your no-bake layered cheese loaf!
