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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the chutney, pressing lightly so they stick. Garnish with fresh parsley for a festive touch.

Step 7

Serve the Festive Cheese Ring with crackers or slices of baguette around the edges. Let guests scoop cheese with their crackers and enjoy!
