Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Let the butter cool after melting so it is warm but not hot.

2. Place the shredded Cheddar, sour cream, cooled melted butter, prepared horseradish, hot mustard, chipotle hot sauce, minced garlic and port wine in a large bowl.

3. Mix with a sturdy spoon or an electric mixer until the cheese is evenly blended and fairly smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

4. Scoop the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a firm, round ball, wrapping it tightly.

5. Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 2 hours until it is firm enough to hold its shape.

6. Spread the black sesame seeds on a small plate and unwrap the chilled ball.

7. Roll the ball gently in the sesame seeds until it is evenly coated all over, pressing lightly so they stick.

8. Return the cheese ball to the fridge for 10 minutes to set, then serve cold with crackers or sliced bread.
