Pumpkin Cheese Ball
A festive and creamy pumpkin cheese ball, perfect for autumn gatherings, combining cream cheese, cheddar, and spices for a delightful appetizer.
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

- Transfer the cheese mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Gather the edges to form a ball, shaping it firmly.
- Chill the wrapped cheese ball in the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld and help it maintain its shape.

- Cut a small piece from the green bell pepper and insert it into the top of the cheese ball to resemble a pumpkin stem.
