Cranberry Pecan Cheese Log

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

250g / 9oz full fat Cream Cheese

150g / 5.3oz Dried Cranberries, (roughly diced)

125g / 4.4oz Pecans, (roughly diced)

100g / 3.5oz Mature/Sharp Cheddar Cheese, (grated)

1/4 cup / 4 tbsp finely diced Chives ()

Directions

Pecan Mix

In a small mixing bowl combine diced pecans, cranberries and chives.

Cheese Mix

In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese & cheddar, then use a spatula to combine with HALF of the pecan mix (save the rest to coat the outside).

Log

Add the mix to a large sheet of cling film and mould into a log shape, using the cling film to tightly contain it (see video for guidance). Pop in the fridge until ready to serve. I recommend at least an hour anyway, just to firm up the cheese. If your mix is fairly firm you'll get away with skipping the resting time.

Coat

When ready to serve, spread the second half of your pecan mix on a chopping board. Unwrap the cheese log and coat all over with the pecan mix.

Serve on a board with crackers. Enjoy!
