This holiday cheese ball in the shape of a pumpkin is easy and fun to make. Made with Cabot Cream Cheese, Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Greek Yogurt, the cheese ball can be modified into other shapes and colors. How about a football for game day? Or a carrot for Easter? Get creative and have fun making this cheese ball recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 dash Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 dash Sriracha or Tabasco (optional)
  • Orange food coloring (if using white cheddar)
  • 1 stem cilantro or broadleaf parsley for decoration

Directions

  1. COMBINE all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If you are using white cheddar and want your pumpkin to be orange, add food coloring when combining ingredients.
  2. FORM a ball with the cheese. Make an indentation with your thumb in the top middle. Make shallow lines down the sides to resemble a pumpkin. You can use a twisted pretzel stick or a bell pepper stem for the pumpkin stem. Add a bit of cilantro for the leaves.
  3. SERVE with your favorite crackers.
