Macadamia Cheese Ball
Tip
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:616:]]This image shows how to use the Philadelphia box as a guide to how big to cut the shallot and capsicum.
Ensure cheese is very cold and straight from the fridge when grating.
The cheese ball can be rolled in whatever you like. We like the treat of Macadamias, but you can use any nut crushed in step 1. Alternatively you use a combination of nuts and parsley, or sesame seeds or poppy seeds or even a combination of 2 part curry powder to one part paprika.
The Cracker Barrel cheese can be substituted with your family favourite block of Cheddar cheese.
The cheeseballs can be made in advance and frozen or will easily keep in your fridge for approximately 1 week.
This CAN be made in the TM31.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
