Halloween Pumpkin Cheese Balls
This delicious pumpkin-shaped cheese ball recipe is a fun and tasty snack with a festive Halloween twist!
Ingredients
For the cheese balls:
- 230 g cream cheese
- 230 g gouda cheese grated
- 500 g cheddar grated
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
- salt
- pepper
For the coating:
- finely crushed cheese snacks (Cheetos-style)
For serving:
- ½ green bell pepper cut into thin sticks (for “stems”)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, gouda, cheddar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
- Shape the mixture into 26 small balls, then gently press each one to create a slightly oval shape.
- Roll each cheese ball in the crushed cheese snacks until fully coated.
- Using a toothpick, lightly score vertical lines around each cheese ball to create a pumpkin-like texture.
- Insert a small piece of green pepper on top as the stem.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Chef’s Tip: Chill the cheese balls for about 30 minutes before serving — it helps them firm up and makes the pumpkin details more defined.
