directions
1. Process cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and garlic powder in a food processor until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides, then add Gouda and cranberries and pulse until incorporated, about 5 times.
2. Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on work surface. Scrape cheese mixture onto plastic and use hands to shape mixture into a ball. Wrap ball in plastic and twist corners to seal, then refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 5 days.
3. When ready to serve, place nuts in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Unwrap cheese ball and roll in nuts to coat, using hands to reshape mixture into a smooth ball and press nuts into bare spots. Let sit at room temperature about 20 minutes before serving.
