Recipe Tips

Piquanté Peppers
Look for the pickled sweet piquanté peppers in the condiment section of your supermarket, or in the olive bar.
Make Ahead
The cream cheese mixture can be mixed together and shaped into the tree shape ahead of time. Wrap in plastic wrap, then refrigerate up to 2 days. Remove the shaped tree from the refrigerator, cover with the cheese cubes, meats, olives and peppers as directed, then refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
Substitute
Substitute 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchatel) for the cream cheese.
