Ingredients:
250 g (9 oz) cream cheese, softened
100 g (3.5 oz) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
75 g (2.5 oz) goat cheese or feta, crumbled
1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
½ tsp (1 g) garlic powder
¼ cup (30 g) dried cranberries, finely chopped
¼ cup (30 g) shelled pistachios, finely chopped
1 sprig of fresh rosemary, for garnish
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Directions:
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar, goat cheese, honey, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Place the mixture on parchment paper and shape it into a small cone or triangular “tree.” Chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
Mix cranberries and pistachios in a shallow dish. Roll or gently press them into the cheese tree to create a festive “garland” pattern.
Garnish with a sprig of rosemary at the top for a tree effect. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette for an elegant holiday centerpiece that’s as delicious as it looks.
