Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Chutney (mango chutney recommended)
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, for garnish
- 1 package Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap on your countertop. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap and form it into a log or large ball with your hands.
Shape the ball into a ring by pushing your fingers through the center and widening the hole until it forms a uniform wreath or ring shape.
Tightly wrap the cheese ring in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm up.
Before serving, place the cheese ring onto a serving platter. Spread the chutney evenly on top of the cheese ring, letting some drape over the sides for an elegant look.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the chutney, pressing lightly so they stick. Garnish with fresh parsley for a festive touch.
Serve the Festive Cheese Ring with crackers or slices of baguette around the edges. Let guests scoop cheese with their crackers and enjoy!
