Cranberry Pecan Cheese Log
This easy cheese log recipe requires just 5 ingredients! It's the ultimate crowd pleaser and makes the perfect finger food at gatherings. Chris x
FULL RECIPE POST:
INGREDIENTS
9oz / 250g Cream Cheese
1 cup / 150g Dried Cranberries, roughly diced
1 cup / 125g Pecans, roughly diced
1 cup / 100g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/4 cup / 4 tbsp finely diced Chives (could sub spring onion)
????METHOD????
In a small mixing bowl combine diced pecans, cranberries and chives.
In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese & cheddar, then use a spatula to combine with HALF of the pecan mix (save the rest to coat the outside).
Add the cheese mix to a large sheet of cling film and mould into a log shape, using the cling film to tightly contain it (see video for guidance). Pop in the fridge until ready to serve. I recommend at least an hour anyway, just to firm up the cheese. If your mix is fairly firm you'll get away with skipping the resting time.
When ready to serve, spread the second half of your pecan mix on a chopping board. Unwrap the cheese log and coat all over with the pecan mix.
Serve on a board with crackers. Enjoy!

→Cheese Log
1 cup raw cashews and/or blanched slivered almonds, soaked overnight (or boiled 10 minutes)
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove fresh garlic)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt (to preference)
2-3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (optional)
1/4 cup dried fruit of choice, chopped (cranberries, apricots, golden raisins, etc.)
1/4 cup roasted nuts of choice, chopped (pistachios, almonds, pecans, etc.)
In a food processor or blender, combine soaked cashews/almonds, vinegar, lemon juice, and coconut oil and blend until smooth. Stop to scrape down your blender or food processor as needed to ensure everything is well-incorporated. Add an extra tablespoon or so of water if needed to get it to blend more easily, but avoid adding too much as it won't firm up nicely.
Stir in herbs and spices, salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Optionally, stir in cranberry sauce just enough to create a swirl.
Transfer cheese mixture to a piece of parchment, clingwrap, aluminum foil or a few layers of cheesecloth. Form into a log and tightly wrap, twisting ends to seal. (You can also shape it into a ball.) Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, until firm.
Mix together chopped fruit and nuts on a plate. Unwrap and roll your log or ball into this mixture, pressing into the cheeseball for an even coating. You can serve immediately or cover and chill again until ready to serve.
→Caramelized Onion Puff Pastry Tarts
2 large onions or 3 small, thinly sliced
olive oil, salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
1 sheet vegan-friendly puff pastry, defrosted in the fridge overnight
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, saute onions in a little bit of olive oil for a full 20-30 minutes, stirring very often. After the liquid cooks off, the onions may start to stick a little. This is okay! Reduce the heat slightly and use a splash of water or veggie broth to deglaze the pan occasionally. Keep cooking and stirring until golden brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add in dried thyme if you like.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay defrosted puff pastry sheet flat and cut into 16 smaller squares (4 x 4). Within each square, lightly score a small square using a paring knife. This will create a small indentation in each tart. Transfer to a lined baking tray and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and place a small square of vegan cheese into each indentation. Spoon in about a tablespoon of caramelized onions, return to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until golden.
