Party Cheese-Ball
People are always asking for this recipe! Makes 3 large balls. Keeps well in the fridge for a few days. Great with crackers and vegetable sticks. This is our Christmas or special occasion treat that always gets rave reviews. The secret is to use the Cerebos Tomato Relish I have used other relishes but didn't compare. Just be patient when mixing. Your arm gets a good workout but you want to keep going until fully combined and you cannot see the grated cheese. You can add extra grated cheese depending on your taste.
Ingredients
- 250g cream cheese
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 4 gerkins finely chopped
- 2 cups grated cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cerebos Tomato Relish
Directions
- Place all ingredients except chopped nuts into bowl
- Mix with wooden spoon
- Be patient, keep mixing untill grated cheese is blended
- Taste, add more grated cheese if you wish
- Divide into 3 balls
- Roll in chopped nuts to cover
- Refridgerate
- Enjoy!

Yum! We loved it so much that between two of us we ate it all in one sitting (opps!).

Hmm thats a tricky one Julie. After much deliberation and my husband giving heaps of suggestions. The best ones I think would be pickled onions or bacon bits or nothing? Would love to know what you try and how it turns out.

Wow Juanita I'm impressed! It is a great treat and quite addictive. Thats why I have put a limit on how often I make it as it not that good for the waist line. I hope you had a couple of wines with it as it can work up a thirst!
