behind the scenes
Transforming Cheese into a Snowman
Yes, we know, this is a bit of a cheesy recipe (pardon the pun )! However, this is really the only time of year that you can get away with moulding your food into characters, especially if you don’t have children!
And while it may look whimsical and perhaps better suited to a 7-year-old’s birthday party, we can guarantee that this snowman packs a delicious punch, making those of all ages come back for more!
So, let your inner cheesiness out and give this Snowman Cheeseball a go –we promise you won’t regret it!

Now, we don’t necessarily want to get a reputation for saying this, but this truly is an incredibly simple recipe that looks like you’ve put in far more effort than you really have – what could be better?!
It can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes, is best made ahead of time (ideally at least one day before) and will last for up to a week in the refrigerator, giving you plenty of opportunity to work on the rest of your festive to-do list.
Let’s Talk Texture!
While there is no denying that the cheese is rich and creamy, it’s offset by the crunch of pecans and the subtle heat of the onion; pile that onto a cracker and it is texture heaven!

Add some delicious crackers, fresh fruit and maybe even some nuts and you’ve got a starter or dare we even say it, a main course, on your hands… all you need is a glass of wine and you have the perfect winter evening! Or, place your Snowman Cheeseball in the middle of your buffet table to create a centrepiece that will grab everyone’s attention!
What’s more, this Snowman Cheeseball is a family recipe which has been handed down from generation to generation.
There’s something so comforting about returning to firm family favorites, especially around this time of year –so nostalgic and familiar it can’t help but make you feel at ease.
Who knows, maybe this will become a regular fixture at your holiday Christmas table for years to come.
