Ingredients
Cream cheese, softened

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), chopped
Nuts (such as pecans or almonds), chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
3. Shape the cheese mixture into a log form using your hands or a spatula.
4. Place the cheese log on a serving plate or a piece of plastic wrap for easy handling.
5. Spread a generous layer of spicy mango chutney evenly over the cheese log.
6. Chop fresh herbs and nuts (if using) for coating.
7. Roll the chutney-covered cheese log in the chopped herbs and nuts to coat it completely.
8. Wrap the cheese log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.
9. Before serving, let the cheese log sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
10. Serve with crackers or crostini for dipping and enjoy with cocktails or wine.
Notes
Add a crunchy twist by rolling the cheese log in a mix of toasted pecans and fresh herbs for extra texture and flavor.
For a flavor boost, let the cheese log rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to allow the ingredients to meld together.
Pair with slightly sweet or savory crackers to complement the balance of creamy, spicy, and tangy flavors in every bite.
