Elevate your next gathering with this show-stopping Raspberry Cheese Ring, a crowd-pleaser that effortlessly combines savory and sweet flavors. This no-cook appetizer pairs the rich creaminess of cream cheese and sharp cheddar with the bold tang of Worcestershire sauce and a subtle hint of garlic. Finely chopped pecans add a delightful crunch, while a glossy layer of ruby-red raspberry preserves crowns the dish with a touch of sweetness. Molded into a striking ring shape for an eye-catching presentation, this easy-to-make recipe is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or any occasion worth celebrating.

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!
