Easy Pumpkin Spice Cheese Ball

Course Appetizer, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 blocks organic cream cheese
  • 1 sweet red pepper
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 T pumpkin butter or pumpkin spice puree
  • baking twine or string

Instructions
 

  • Add both blocks of cream cheese to mixing bowl and mix for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is nice and whipped. (I let mine sit on the counter for about an hour before I started to soften it up a bit)
  • Add in pumpkin butter and mix until well combined
  • Place the mixture on a clean cutting board and start to shape into a ball. Then wrap in a plastic sealing wrap, making sure the entire surface area is covered.
  • Wrap a piece of baking twine around the cheese ball and tie tightly so that the string makes an indention into the ball (see pictures for reference).
  • Repeat this process three more times, or until you've reached your desired pumpkin shape.
  • Store in refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the cheese to become firm again
  • Carefully unwrap the twine and plastic wrap.
  • Sprinkle & press on shredded cheese until the entire surface is orange.
  • Cut off the stem of your sweet red pepper and press into the middle of the pumpkin
  • Serve with your favorite sliced veggies or crackers!
