27 Servings
Prep: 10 min. + chilling

Ingredients

6 cups (24 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2/3 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
Sliced pimientos, yellow pepper strips and one pimiento-stuffed olive slice

Directions

In a bowl, beat cheeses, butter, horseradish, apple juice and olives on low speed for 1 minute. Beat on high until almost smooth. Press 3/4 cup into a 4-in. star-shaped mold coated with cooking spray. Cover and chill for 3 hours or until set.
Refrigerate remaining cheese mixture for another use or for the Party Sandwich Tree (recipe also in Recipe Finder). Run a sharp knife around mold to loosen cheese spread and unmold. Garnish with pimientos, peppers and olive. Yield: about 3-3/4 cups.
