Christmas Decorated Cheese and Crackers

Big thanks to @sweetambs for making this beautiful holiday cheese and cracker platter! She used Date Tamarind Chutney to add a burst of flavor, sweetness, and color to this spread.

Ingredients

1/2 cup whipped cream cheese

Date Tamarind Chutney (start with 2 tablespoons, add more as needed)

cracker 

cheese slices of choice 

roasted red peppers, optional 

green olives, optional 

Method

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of whipped cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of Date Tamarind Chutney.

Gradually add more chutney until the mixture reaches a soft peak consistency—smooth but firm enough to hold its shape when piped.

Spread a thin layer of Date Tamarind Chutney on each cracker using a toothpick.

Place a cheese cut-out on top of each cracker with the chutney.

Fill a piping bag with the chutney-cream cheese mixture and pipe decorative designs onto the cheese cut-outs.

For extra flavor, top some crackers with chopped roasted red peppers and green olives.

If not serving immediately, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the crackers before adding toppings to prevent moisture from the peppers soaking in.

Enjoy your beautifully crafted, flavorful crackers!
