Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Cheese Base
    • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Add Cranberries & Pecans
    • Fold in dried cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  3. Shape the Cheese Ball
    • Scoop the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap.
    • Use the plastic wrap to help form it into a tight ball.
    • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours to firm up.
  4. Coat the Cheese Ball
    • Roll the chilled cheese ball in extra chopped pecans and a few cranberries if desired.
  5. Serve
    • Place on a serving platter and serve with crackers, bread slices, or fresh veggies.

💡 Tips:

  • Make ahead — cheese balls taste even better after chilling overnight.
  • For a sweeter twist, drizzle a little honey on top before serving.
  • You can also roll in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a colorful touch.
