Addictive Cheese Logs image

I have done my best to replicate the cheese logs that were made by a long-gone relative. This person used Kraft Old English sharp cheddar cheese that used to be sold in blocks like Velveeta. Now I can only find it as a "cheese spread" in small 5 ounce glass jars. Any sharp Cheddar should work as well. I used to sneak one out of...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 oz philadelphia cream cheese, softened
16 oz velveeta cheese, cubed
16 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c finely chopped pecans (or walnuts)
1 pkg ground paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Place cheeses into a large mixing bowl to soften. Add minced garlic and turn mixer on. Mix on slow speed until cheeses are completely blended.
  • 2. Add finely chopped nuts, and mix well. Take a good length of waxed paper and pour a thick line of paprika in the center.
  • 3. This is the MESSY part! Using food service gloves, take a large handful of the cheese mixture and form into a log about 1 inch in diameter and 8 inches long (depending on your hand size - mine are large). Place on top of the paprika and roll back and forth until the log is completely covered in the paprika.
  • 4. Wrap log in plastic wrap tightly, then place into a freezer container or wrap again in aluminum foil. These can be frozen for several months, or placed in refrigerator to firm up.
  • 5. To serve, unwrap frozen or chilled log and place on serving plate. Surround with your favorite crackers and stand back! It will disappear very quickly!
