Pumpkin Cheese Ball Appetizer Recipe | Cait Straight Up
hey guys my name is Caitlin and welcomeback to Cait straight up today we're
making something so fun and so spooky weare making a pumpkin cheese ball that we
could dip delicious apples and broccoliand chips into it's a wonderful
appetizer for the fall season forhalloween parties for thanksgiving it
honestly is so easy you're gonna beamazed
my husband is looking at me like I'mcrazy from behind the camera because
he's like a cheeseball what are youtalking about
we're not cooking this is just gonna bea nice appetizer that we could dip these
vegetables in and it's gonna be fabulous
so we are going to start with two 8-ouncepackages of chive cream cheese any
brand will do but they usually call outthat they have the chive and onion
either of those will work we're going toneed two 8 ounce packages we are then
adding 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheesenow just a fun fact hear your typical
package that you can buy of sargento orpolly-o or whatever is about eight ounces
of shredded so save yourself the timecreating it and just buy yourself one
package
we're going to pour that in with ourcream cheese before we blend this all
together and make it into a pumpkinshape we're going to add two spices some
paprika and some cumin just because itreally makes the flavor pop the paprika
helps with our orange coloring and thecumin just so good so just going to your
taste but you know just over top so istarted mixing up here just a little bit
with my spoon and then I'm just going toblend with your hand blender and just
blend it all nice until it's reallyevenly distributed you want to go too
fast you don't want this all over yourkitchen we don't need pumpkin guts
everywhere after it's well blendedyou're just going to kind of move it
into the dish
to a ball and you're actually gonna haveto kind of get in there and make a ball
shape yourself but i like to do someoneheavy lifting first and make a nice
ball shape out of it before i even liftit out of my mixing bowl
doesn't that look easier i know i'm goodat some things right guys so now the
most important step we're going to wantto lay out our nice ball see that heavy
lifting works out it actually kind oflist for it out we're gonna pop it onto
some plastic wrap and then we're goingto kind of continue to form it into a
ball but actually if you wrap it on upyou can get that ball shape after so
just really kind of get into yourplastic wrap and then look how easy it
is to form our pumpkin shape so you'regoing to want to lift it up off the
cutting board so you could really kindof get a nice pumpkin look and shape
here
out of your cheese most important stepguys this ball of delicious fall flavor fun
fabulous cheesiness needs to go into thefridge it needs to be two hours minimum
but it can last up to two days in yourfridge so if you want to prepare for a
party
go ahead and do that in advance and justinto the fridge it goes for at least two
hours so after its chilled for at leasttwo hours we're going to chop up our
vegetables in our apples and get readyto serve it on a delicious fall platter
we're going to wash our broccoli and ourapples chop them all up now you have to
save the stem of the broccoli becausewe're going to use it as a wonderful and
fantastic stem to our pumpkin feel freeto kind of put some ridges in it with it
with your finger or spoon or fork doanything to kind of jazz it up
