Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup finely shredded Roth Gouda cheese
  • 1 cup finely shredded Roth Jalapeño Havarti cheese
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot or buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 scallions, trimmed and diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Crackers, crudités and/or pretzel sticks, for dipping

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cheeses, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic and scallions until smooth. Mixture should be thick but mixable. Add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons buffalo sauce for more heat, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Transfer cheese ball mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap mixture in plastic wrap, forming into a ball. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. To serve, roll the cheese ball in slivered almonds and serve on a tray with crackers, crudités (carrots, celery and cherry tomatoes) and pretzel sticks, for dipping.
