Chutney Cheese Ball
These get eaten up right away, and the request for this recipe soon follows. Super simple, a great thing to whip together quickly if company drops in, or if you want to bring a little something to a party.
ingredients
You’ll need
1 brick of Philadelphia cream cheese slightly softened
about 1/2 bottle of Major Grey’s Chutney
about a cup to cup and a half of somewhat roughly chopped walnuts
garnish… a cherry, basil leaves, parsley, whatever you have on hand that’s pretty… pansies!
I use my hands, but it’s messy. You may want to use a bowl and strong spoon.
Put cream cheese in bowl, add the chutney. Mix well. Don’t use a blender or whisk, it will change the texture of the cheese too much and it won’t form a ball well. 
Form the well blended mixture into a ball. Place the chopped walnuts on a sheet of waxed paper. Firmly press cheese ball into the walnuts, continuing to rotate ball to be evenly covered with nuts and retain round shape.
mixing and shaping is a messy job!
Place on plate, refrigerate about 30 minutes to firm up. Garnish and serve with crackers. Ritz crackers are my favorite for this cheese ball.
