Rated 5 out of 5 by Val28 from Colorful AND Delicious Cheese "ball" This is a delicious, festive looking appetizer that's always a hit when I make it! It looks so pretty on a platter although it doesn't stay looking that way for long when everyone starts digging in! The recipe name is a little deceiving; it's called a " torta" because of the layers of cream cheese seasoned with the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix and the colorful red and green of the artichoke hearts, parsley and roasted red peppers. It makes for such a pretty holiday presentation, however, don't save this recipe just for Christmas; I make it whenever an occasion calls for a unique appetizer. One hint when preparing the torta, scoop up the cream cheese for the layers into your hands and flatten like a thick pancake when you're layering/assembling the torta. ENJOY; I know it will be the hit of your party or gathering!
