Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add crushed pineapple, chopped dried cranberries, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the center and shape into a log.
- Wrap tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once chilled, remove the cheese log from the plastic and roll it in chopped pecans, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crackers or baguette slices.
Notes
This festive cheese log can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for holiday gatherings. Feel free to swap pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
