A holiday favorite for our family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just holiday get togethers.. This can be served as pictured by making a ring mold of cream cheese in a cake pan with an indent or bowl in the middle for the chipotle cranberry sauce. Roll the cream cheese ring in chopped walnuts for a more elegant look. Serve with your favorite crackers. Another favorite is to bake squares of puff pastry in a muffin pan with a piece of brie cheese. Serve warm and top with the cranberry chipotle sauce.
