Recipe Summary Christmas Tree Cheese Ball

My family's cheese ball recipe, shaped like a tree for the holidays. Very fun! Serve on a platter surrounded by crackers.

Ingredients | Emerald Tree Boa

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

¼ cup finely diced onion

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 red bell pepper

1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

¼ cup chopped pecans, or as needed

Directions

Mix cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl with an electric mixer until completely blended. Turn cheese mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper and form it into the shape of a Christmas tree. Refrigerate cheese 'tree' until firm, at least 1 hour.

Cut bell pepper into thin strips and 1 star shape.

Press parsley into cheese tree to cover. Press bell pepper strips in a row to form a 'garland'. Make another 'garland' using chopped pecans. Place bell pepper star at the top of the 'tree'. Carefully transfer 'tree' to a serving platter.
