US - Metric

Instructions

Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap. Unwrap the Boursin cheese and place it on the plastic wrap.
Tightly wrap the cheese in the plastic wrap, forming a cone shape resembling a carrot. Freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Before serving, unwrap the cheese "carrot" and gently press the freshly grated Cheddar cheese onto the surface to cover it evenly. Detach a generous amount of parsley from the bunch and position it at the top of the carrot for the stem.
Serve with crackers and cold cuts as desired.

Notes

Note 1: Boursin cheese is widely available in grocery stores and comes in various flavors. The garlic and herb flavor works best for this cheeseball. For a homemade cheeseball, consider our Cheeseball Recipe or Pistachio Goat Cheeseball instead!

Note 2: For best results, grate your own sharp Cheddar cheese using the large holes of a box grater. Fresh is best in this recipe; packaged shredded cheese often contains additives that affect the taste.

Note 3: Serve the cheeseball with your choice of crackers such as crispy breadsticks, butter crackers, or pita chips. You can also include sliced toasted baguette or mini crostini for bread, along with cold cuts like salami, pepperoni, or deli meats, and fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, bell peppers, olives, and cherry tomatoes.

Note 4: Wrap the leftover cheeseball tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
