A great dip, a nice glass of vino and some lovely company! It doesn't get much better than that! If you want something to enjoy with your special someone then this Thermomix Spicy Thai Cheese Ball is the perfect afternoon whip up.
NB: This makes a big ball which is great for large numbers or I divide into 2 balls if only serving to a few people and freeze the other ball for another time.
With those wonderful thai spices and the little crunch of the almonds and depending on your side (cucumber is a nice refreshing break with the thai flavours) it's no wonder you'll get caught up in the moment and relax and enjoy the simple things.
To make this dip LCHF just omit the carrot! :)
