Our most requested pimiento cheese recipe comes from the cookbook of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter! In this video, Ivy makes the famous Carter family pimiento cheese spread. What really sets this creamy favorite apart from other Pimiento recipes is the gratings of a fresh onion, as well as a whole block of cream cheese.

00:00This is our most requested pimento cheese recipe.
00:03This particular recipe gets its creaminess
00:05from a block of cream cheese.
00:08Tread your own cheese,
00:09half a cup of mayonnaise of your choice.
00:11Now up until this point,
00:12we have a pretty standard give or take recipe.
00:14Here is where it goes to the next level.
00:16This recipe comes from former President Carter's wife,
00:19Rosalyn Carter.
00:20She does what I like to do and grate in a fresh onion.
00:24And as if that wasn't enough onion flavor,
00:26we're going in with a quarter teaspoon of onion powder.
00:29Obviously salt and pepper.
00:31Mix it up and that's it.
00:32I'm leaving the crust on,
00:34but I am cutting this into a triangle.
00:36Perfection.
00:37It does not get any better than this.
