1.

In a blender or food processor (I used the “mini” one from my Ninja set in my photos), combine the beans, cream cheese, and salt until very smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Get Recipe

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto a large platter (mine is a 12" x 16" oval), in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Then spread a thin layer of pesto over top, not quite to the edge of the cream cheese mixture.

Tip

To work on this recipe ahead, you have two options. Do all of the chopping and prep of the decorative toppings a day or two ahead, and stash them in the fridge. Get Recipe
