Pine Cone Cheese Ball
December 10, 2015
My friend Sharon made this Pine Cone Cheese Ball for an event. It's a great thing to bring to any holiday party. The fresh herbs really make it.
- Prep: 30 mins
Ingredients
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
4 ounces goat cheese, softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
½ clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1Stir cream cheese, goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, thyme, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until smooth and well-mixed.
2Turn cheese mixture out onto a serving platter and form into a tapered oval shape to resemble a pine cone.
3Starting at the tapered end, press almonds into the cheese cone so that the tip of the almond is facing out and down, and cheese cone is completely covered with almonds and resembles a pine cone. Place rosemary sprigs at the top to resemble pine needles.
