Everyone will love this easy-to-make Skull Cheese Ball made with only one ingredient.
I use a cream cheese called Boursin (one with garlic and herbs), which has a firm texture and holds its shape well. You can use any cream cheese you like, but if you find your cream cheese too soft to shape, add a tablespoon or two of finely grated cheddar.
Serve this tasty recipe with sliced baguettes, crackers, pretzels, crudité, or potato chips.
It's the perfect dish to bring to a Halloween party or enjoy for a spooky night at home with all your favorite people.
If you want to save time later, make the cheese ball in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. When ready to serve, top with the balsamic glaze details and add the crackers.
Ingredients
- 300 grams cream cheese (I used Boursin)
- crackers (or pretzels)
- 6 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- cling film
- medium round cookie cutter
- small petal-shaped cookie cutter
Instructions
1. Place cling film on top of a serving platter.
2. Top with the cream cheese.
3. Shape the skull with slightly wet hands so the cheese won't stick.
4. Use the round cookie cutter to make the eyes and the petal-shaped cutter to shape the nose.
5. Draw and indent the teeth with a knife.
6. Fill the indent for the teeth with balsamic glaze.
7. Top the void for the nose and eyes with balsamic glaze.
8. Carefully remove the cling film underneath the skull.
9. Arrange the crackers or pretzels around the skull.
10. Serve.
