Time 50m

Yield 18 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
5 cups shredded white Cheddar (1 pound)
Fine salt 1 small carrot
2 asparagus spears, blanched
3 black olives, sliced in half
One 12-inch strip English cucumber or one 12-inch piece celery shaved thinly with a vegetable peeler
Crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Thoroughly combine the cream cheese, Worcestershire, lemon zest, 3 cups Cheddar and 1 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Transfer to a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Roll the cheese mixture into three balls to form the base, body and head of the snowman. (They should be just over 4-, 3-, and 2-inches in diameter.) Roll the balls in the remaining 2 cups Cheddar to create a snowy exterior. Insert a 6- to 8-inch wooden skewer vertically into the largest ball; use it to attach the body and then the head of the snowman.
  • Cut an inch off the tapered tip of the carrot and use it for the snowman's nose. Insert the asparagus spears into the body for arms. Use two olive halves for eyes, and the remaining four for buttons. Wrap the thinly shaved cucumber or celery around his neck to form a scarf.

Tips for Making the Best Mr. Snowman Cheese Ball:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese. This will ensure that your cheese ball is smooth and creamy.
  • Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to mix and will help the cheese ball hold its shape.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more flavorful cheese ball. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Add some mix-ins to your cheese ball for extra flavor and texture. Chopped nuts, dried fruit, and herbs are all good options.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing can make the cheese ball tough and crumbly.
  • Chill the cheese ball for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cheese ball with crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
