Time 4h10m

Yield Two 3-inch cheese wheels

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 8-ounce package full-fat cream cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch ground white pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon finely minced chives
1/4 cup parsley leaves
Crackers or bread, for serving

Steps:

Combine the cream cheese, butter, garlic, black pepper, white pepper if using and salt in a food processor and process until smooth and evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the chives and parsley leaves and pulse just until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Line two 4-ounce ramekins with plastic wrap, allowing some overhang all around. Divide the cheese mixture between the ramekins, packing it in firmly. Cover the top with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, unwrap the top of the plastic and invert a ramekin onto a plate. Remove the ramekin and plastic wrap to reveal the wheel of cheese. Repeat with the second ramekin or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Serve with crackers or bread.
