ALMOND CHIP CHEESE BALL

I grabbed this from a recipe book at my mother's when I was raiding her cookbook collection. It sounds like it could be good for a party and is a change from the savory cheese balls. The book suggests serving it with ginger snaps and vanilla wafers. Cooking time does not include overnight chilling time.

Any cheese ball is a welcome addition to a holiday party spread, but when you bring one that looks like a pine cone, you're talking about a real showstopper.

Pine Cone Cheese Ball image

Steps:

Stir cream cheese, goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, thyme, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until smooth and well-mixed.
Turn cheese mixture out onto a serving platter and form into a tapered oval shape to resemble a pine cone.
Starting at the tapered end, press almonds into the cheese cone so that the tip of the almond is facing out and down, and cheese cone is completely covered with almonds and resembles a pine cone. Place rosemary sprigs at the top to resemble pine needles.
