Jenny's Cheese Ball




My sister Jen has a cheese ball that is to die for! She makes it for pretty much every family Christmas party and I had my first attempt at making it last week. It turned out pretty well, but somehow I think Jen's just has the perfect touch!

2 pkgs cream cheese (8oz each)-softened
2-4 green onions chopped
1 cup finely shredded mild cheddar
1 cup coconut
1 cup craisins
1-2 cups walnuts
coarsely chip 3/4 cup and put rest on outside of ball

mix all ingredients (except for the leftover walnuts) in a mixer until well mixed
form into a ball with your hands
put the rest of the chopped walnuts on the outside of the ball
wrap the ball in plastic wrap and refridgerate until firm - place on plate
Pour 1 jar of Mango Chutney over top of ball right before you serve it
serve with ritz crackers

*Mango Chutney can be found at Safeway by the salad dressing.
