In a small bowl, stir the softened cream cheese with a fork to make sure it is soft and spreadable and has no lumps.

Stir in the mango chutney and the curry powder. Mix until well blended.

Stir in the dried apricots until blended.

Serve in a small bowl and top with the chopped nuts. Or form into a round ball and roll the ball in the chopped nuts. Serve on a platter with crackers or baguette slices. Sometimes I will cover the round ball with roasted almond slices, but it depends if there are any nut allergies among my guests.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. I like to let this sit out at least 20 minutes before serving so it's soft enough to spread.
