Macadamia and Avocado Cheeseball

Ingredients

• 500g cream cheese
  
• 1 ripe avocado
  
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  
• Paprika or parsley to coat
  
• 100g whole roasted macadamias
  
• 200g roasted macadamia pieces
  

Method

Blend the cream cheese until smooth. Remove the avocado flesh from its shell and roughly mash.

Stir the avocado and mustard into the cream cheese. The avocado should swirl through the cream cheese, not blend into it. Form into a ball and sprinkle generously with paprika or parsley.

Arrange whole macadamias around the bottom of the mound or "ball" and press the bits on the top and sides. Serve with biscuits and a spreading knife.

An ideal appetiser to accompany drinks.
