Servings: 12

Ingredients :

• 8 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp White Cheddar divided
• 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• ¼ cup butter softened
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 10 whole peppercorns
• 1 thin baby carrot
• 2 rosemary sprigs

Instructions :

• Grate the cheddar on the small holes of a box grater, or use a food processor with a grating blade.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until well combined and smooth. Beat in half of the cheddar, the garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Divide the mixture into two uneven portions, using about two thirds for the body and one third for the head. Grease your hands lightly with olive or avocado oil and roll into balls. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours.
• When the balls are chilled, unwrap the balls and roll in the remaining grated cheddar. Place the large ball on a serving platter. Press two toothpicks about halfway down into the top of the ball. Place the smaller ball on top, secured in place by the toothpicks.
• Use the peppercorns to make eyes and a mouth on the head of the snowman, and buttons down the body.
• Cut the tip off the thin carrot and use for the nose. Remove most of the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and press in as the arms of the snowman. Spread any leftover grated cheese around the bottom as snow.
• Serve at room temperature for easier scooping.

Notes :

Storage: The unassembled cheeseballs can be stored, wrapped in plastic, for several days. Once you’ve put together the snowman, it will dry out if left out longer than a day.

But the leftovers can be pressed into a sealable container and will last several weeks, as long as your ingredients were fresh.
