List of Ingredients



• 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
  
• 2 (5- or 8-ounce) containers sharp cold-pack cheese spread
  
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
  
• 1/2 tsp curry powder
  
• 3 Tbsp praline-flavored liqueur or other nutty-flavored liqueur
  
• 1 (6-ounce) bag chopped pecans
  
• Pecan halves for garnish
  






Instructions



1. Put cheeses in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes to soften. Add garlic salt, onion powder, curry powder and liqueur; mix until very well blended. Cover lightly and refrigerate to set, approximately 30 minutes.
   
   
2. Spread the chopped pecans on a large piece of waxed paper. Separate cheese into two 5- or 6-inch balls or 1 large ball. Place cheese mixture on nuts; roll gently to cover and shape. Place on a serving dish and garnish with pecan halves around edge. If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon praline liqueur over top for additional flavor.
   
   
3. Chill to set again.
   
   Serve at room temperature with choice of crackers.
