Mediterranean Cream Cheese Baubles

If you are looking for a unique but simple and delicious appetiser, these easy savoury Cheese Ball Baubles/Ornaments are perfect for serving over Christmas time, they would also be a delicious appetizer served all year round. Just like a classic cheese ball everybody loves, these Mediterranean cream cheese baubles are a mini version of a cheese ball using Christmas colours and a rosemary twig for a cute Christmas decorative touch. Serve these Mediterranean cream cheese baubles with your favourite crackers or chips.

Layered with cream cheese, feta, sun-dried tomatoes and basil pesto is the most irresistible savoury treat. I love the Mediterranean flavours, and combining them into these mini cheese ball baubles is a perfect match. If you can’t source Villa Mediterranean Margherita Dip you can use equal parts finely chopped sundried tomatoes and basil pesto. You can also make this into one large cream cheese ball using a bowl to shape it.

Servings 4

Equipment

• 1 Silicone dome mould Soffritto Pro Bake Silicone Dome Mould, 6cm from Stevens

Ingredients

  

• 150 g cream cheese
• 150 g feta
• 135 g Villa Mediterranean Margherita Layered Dip
• 4 Rosemary sprigs

Instructions

 

• Add the cream cheese and feta into a food processor or cake mixer and beat until the mixture forms a whipped consistency.
• Cover the dome mould with plastic wrap and using a spatula gently 3/4 fill each half of the dome mould, using a teaspoon to top each mould with the layered dip.
• Pop it into the fridge for a few hours to firm up.
• Once it’s firm enough to remove from the mould, gently pop one dome half at a time using the plastic wrap to help you.
• Place two halves together to make the bauble and top with a sprig of rosemary.
• Serve with crackers or the rosemary wreath focaccia.

Notes

This recipe uses half a tub of the Villa Mediterranean dip, I recommend doubling the cream cheese & feta to make use of the dip.
I used the Soffritto Pro Bake Silicone Dome Mould, 6cm from Stevens
