How to Make Southern Cheese Ring
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 oz (450g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup (60g) chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup (15g) chopped green onions. Stir well to combine.
- Add 1 cup (240ml) mayonnaise and stir until thoroughly and evenly mixed. The mixture should be moist but not runny.
- Generously grease a 9-inch tube or bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Carefully spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it gently and evenly around the sides and bottom of the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the ring to firm up.
- To serve: Carefully invert the cheese ring onto a serving plate.
- Drizzle generously with raspberry chipotle sauce (recipe can be found online or easily made with store-bought sauce and chipotle peppers in adobo).
- Garnish with fresh parsley, raspberries, and/or mint sprigs. For extra presentation, serve the ring on a bed of ruffled lettuce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
