Notes
Room temperature cheese: Let the cheese sit at room temperature for easier handling and shaping.
Customize the flavors: Mix in your favorite additions like chopped cranberries, chives, pecans or spices such as onion or garlic powder.
No-waste decorating: Use leftover pomegranate seeds in a salad or as a garnish for other dishes.
Neat presentation: Use a small offset spatula to smooth the surface of the cheese cone before decorating.
