Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by allowing the cream cheese and freshly shredded sharp white cheddar cheese to come to room temperature, around 30 minutes.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, sharp white cheddar, and ranch seasoning mix. Beat on medium speed until well mixed, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Once combined, divide the cheese mixture into two portions: one-third for the hat brim and two-thirds for the witch hat top.
  4. Take the smaller one-third portion and shape it into a flat disc, about an inch thick for the brim.
  5. With the larger two-thirds portion, shape it into a cone for the point of the witch hat.
  6. Carefully place the cone-shaped cheese ball onto the brim and gently press them together.
  7. Cover the cheese ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  8. Once chilled, coat the cheese ball generously with poppy seeds.
  9. Transfer the finished cheese ball to a serving platter and pair with pretzel thins, crackers, fresh bread, or veggies.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese and cheddar are softened for a creamy texture. Let the cheese ball chill for best shape and don’t skip rolling during coating for even coverage.
