Tips:

  • Using softened cream cheese will make it easier to mix and spread.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Chilling the dough before rolling it out will help it to hold its shape better.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • To make sure the cheese log is evenly coated in nuts, roll it in the nuts twice.
  • If you want a more savory cheese log, you can add some chopped bacon, ham, or chives to the cream cheese mixture.
  • For a sweeter cheese log, you can add some chopped dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins, to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Serve the cheese log with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
