Pumpkin Cheese Ball

Step 1

Place the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until soft. Add in the shredded cheese and briefly mix to combine.

Step 2

Next, add the seasoning to the bowl: parsley, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Whip all ingredients in the bowl until soft and well combined.

Step 4

Line a small bowl with plastic wrap (cling film) and transfer the cheese mix into the bowl. Wrap tightly with the plastic wrap and shape into a firm ball with your hands.

Step 5

Use 3 rubber bands and secure them around the cheese ball to create the pumpkin shape.

Step 6

Place the pumpkin ball back into the bowl and place it into the fridge for at least 2 hours or longer to firm up. Once firm, carefully remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and place it onto a serving dish.

Step 7

Add the doritos (tortilla chips) into a freezer bag and crumble them with a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces and dust. Use your hands to carefully press the dorito crumbles onto the pumpkin cheese ball until completely coated.

Step 8

To take the pumpkin look to the next level, press a bell pepper stem into the top of the pumpkin shape and serve your cheese ball alongside crackers, crisps and Co for dipping into the cheese.
