Make this Pimento Cheese Spread into a Pumpkin

Directions

1. 1
   Place the shredded cheddar cheese, Neufchatel cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, ancho chili pepper, sea salt, pepper sauce, and pimentos into the bowl of a stand mixer.Using the paddle attachment, beat at medium speed until mixture is thoroughly combined. Scrape down walls of the bowl if necessary to completely mix all ingredients together.
2. 2
   Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl to form the pimento cheese into a ball. Then carefully scrape the cheese ball on to middle of a large serving plate. Using the spatula, smooth the sides of the cheese until you have kind of a half dome.
3. 3
   Place plate in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove the plate from the refrigerator. Using a small offset cake spatula, spread knife, or a flat butter knife, sculpt your pumpkin and score the sides. Dont worry about it being perfect. Have fun! When youre happy how it looks, take the stem from a bell pepper (remove the seeds and pith) and place it on top.Refrigerate until its time to serve. Also, add crackers just before serving so they dont get soggy.
