I made this cheese log for a dinner party and my husband declared that it was one of the top five things I had ever made. It quite an honour to get into his 'shortlist of favourites' for something that you don't really need to follow a recipe to make!
Cream Cheese Log
In a bowl add lots of cream cheese (not cottage cheese, you want a lovely creaminess, +- 3/4 tub) and add about 2 preserved figs (finely chopped) and mix.
Then comes the tricky bit... shape this into a log shape (your hands will get full of cream cheese but its quite easy otherwise you can shape it by placing on the cream cheese onto cling wrap, roll closed and shape into a log shape, but I like to use my hands - real quick). It doesn't have to look perfect, once it's rolled in the nuts it will look great.
Place a generous amount of flaked almonds on a plate and roll log in the nuts (or use chopped pecan nuts). Re-shape as best you can, after nuts are added. Place the log on a cute platter and serve with french bread / wholewheat biscuits or as part of a cheese board. Delicious!!
