2 cups Swiss or Monterey Jack cheese, finely shredded.In the Cheese Ball Mummy video you’ll see I snip the corner off a food storage bag. Honestly, you don’t even need specialty pastry bags. If you already have bags and couplers you can also buy just the basket weave tip. The only specialty items you really need for this cheeseball mummy are a pastry bag and a flat or basket weave cake decorating tip (In the kit I linked to, the basket weave tip is #48).

It just takes a little more time and effort. If I’m not using a speedy setting on my camera it’s glued to the tripod.įor the equipment, I love using my stand mixer, but you can mix these by hand. You don’t have to have a steady hand (like for icing a cake) because no mummy has perfect straight bandages. Now if you’re looking for easy Halloween food ideas you might think this looks too difficult, but it’s not! This cheese mummy recipe has a few steps to it, but with a stand mixer you can whip the cheese ball part up in minutes.ĭon’t let the bandages overwhelm you either, they’re really simple to make. But the kids don’t know the difference! It’s such a forgivable food decorating projecting. This year’s cheese ball mummy was messier than previous years, and I got the “dirt” on the bandages too dark. I’ve got a Christmas cheese ball snowman, a Thanksgiving cheese ball turkey, and an amazing copycat Boursin recipe. I began experimenting with different cheese ingredients to make my own cheese logs, discovered the world of cheese balls, and am now obsessed and make them for every holiday. The mummy was cute but I wasn’t thrilled with the taste. I first made my cheese ball mummy using store bought cheese logs because I didn’t yet know about cheese balls (I don’t think I ever had one in living in Hawaii!). Or something like that… This cheese ball mummy has been tested over a dozen times!īut the main reason you should give this cute edible mummy a try is that I’ve been making him for 13 years now. He’ll be gone faster than you can say “King Tutankhamun”. But once you dig in, no one will be able to resist.

The little mummy is almost all cheese, and looks so impressive people might be afraid to eat him.
