Ingredients

16 servings
  • 16 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, (shredded)
  • 8 ounces light cream cheese, (at room temperature)
  • 8 ounces chive and onion cream cheese spread
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 stalk broccoli
  • red and green apple wedges and/or baguette slices, (for serving)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheeses, paprika and red pepper; stir together until well blended. Cover and chill 4 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to be shaped.

  2. Shape the mixture into a ball to resemble a pumpkin. Smooth the entire outer surface with a frosting spatula or table knife. Make vertical grooves in ball, if desired, using fingertips. Or use long strips of carrot peel to mark the grooves in the pumpkin.

  3. Cut florets from broccoli stalk and reserve for another use. Cut the stalk to resemble a pumpkin stem, and press into the top of the cheese ball. Serve the cheese ball with apple wedges or baguette slices.
