Cream Cheese and Almond Pinecone image

I have been making this cheese spread for many years and it is always a big hit. It's a very fancy looking but easy spread for crackers. I like to serve it on a pedestal cake plate decorated with silk holly leaves or a big red bow at the top.

Time 20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

16 ounces whole almonds
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 (8 ounce) containers flavored cheese spread

Steps:

  • In a 350 degree oven toast the almonds in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
  • Meanwhile, combine the room temperature cheeses. Mound the cheese mixture onto the serving platter and shape into a pinecone shape with a spreading knife. Beginning at the bottom, pointed end of the pinecone begin placing the toasted almonds in rows, overlapping them slightly as you build the rows. The almonds should have the tapered end pointing downward. When it is done it will look like a huge pinecone. Decorate with silk leaves or a bow. Serve with an assortment of crackers and festive spreading knives.
