How to Make Pumpkin Pie Cheese and Crackers
Here are the ingredients you need to make these pumpkin pie cheese and crackers, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 16 ounce cheddar cheese block
- 60 pita crackers
- 1/3 cup cream cheese spread or softened cream cheese
Step by Step Instructions
1. Slice the block of cheddar in half so you have two thinner slabs of cheese.
2. Cut each slab into small triangle shapes that will fit neatly on top of the pita crackers.
3. Arrange half of the crackers on a serving platter and place one cheese triangle on each cracker.
4. Take the remaining crackers and cut them in half. Trim off and discard the pointed ends so they resemble straight crust edges.
5. Spoon the cream cheese into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe a thin line of cream cheese along the bottom edge of each trimmed cracker half, then gently press it onto the back of each cheese triangle to create the look of a pie crust.
6. For a more perfect look, pipe a small dollop of cream cheese on top of each triangle to mimic whipped cream.
These pumpkin pie cheese and crackers make a playful twist on the classic cheese-and-cracker appetizer. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have a plate of festive bites that are sure to stand out on the snack table. Serve them at your next holiday gathering and watch them disappear in no time.
