Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Raspberry preserves
- 1 package Crackers or baguette slices (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
Line a standard-sized bundt pan or a ring mold with plastic wrap, ensuring that the wrap drapes over the edges for easy removal later.
Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans evenly across the bottom of the lined pan.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the pan on top of the pecans, carefully pressing it down to ensure it molds evenly into the shape of a ring. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top of the cheese mixture, pressing lightly so they adhere.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
When ready to serve, invert the mold onto a serving platter and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
Spoon the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the cheese ring, allowing some to drizzle down the sides for a decorative effect.
Serve with crackers or baguette slices around the ring, and enjoy!
