Snowman Cheeseball

I've been making a Snowman Cheeseball for Christmas for many years now. It's incredibly easy to make and just so darn cute!

Serve it with raw vegetables, crackers, and/or breads like baguette slices. This looks adorable and so festive when placed in the middle of a cheese board or charcuterie tray.

Ingredients

4 oz. Sharp white cheddar cheese
12 oz. Cream cheese softened
2 Tbsp. Fresh chopped chives
1 Tbsp. Ranch seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. Minced garlic
Whole black peppercorns for garnish
1 Baby carrot for garnish

Instructions

Grate the sharp white cheddar cheese with the smallest setting on the cheese grater to get it as fine as possible.
In a bowl, stir together the cream cheese, chives, ranch seasoning, garlic and salt and pepper to taste until well combined.
Spread the finely shredded cheddar cheese out on a plate.
Form the cream cheese mixture into two balls, one larger than the other.
Roll the two balls of cream cheese mixture in the finely grated white cheddar cheese to coat them well.
Stack the smaller ball on top of the larger one on a parchment lined plate, and chill in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Garnish with black peppercorns for the eyes, mouth and buttons of the snowman, and cut the baby carrot into the shape of a snowman nose.
