Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball
This Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball is so festive for the holidays and easily made with only 5 ingredients. Make it the day before for a worry-free holiday celebration. Serve it with your favorite crackers, pretzels or veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz. Cream Cheese; softened
- 1/2 + 1/3 C. Pecans; roughly chopped
- 1/2 C. Dried Cranberries
- 1/3 C. Green Onion; thinly sliced horizontally
- 1 2/3 C. Shredded Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Tsp. Dried Parsley
Instructions
-
Roughly chop the pecans and add a 1/2 C. to a mixing bowl with the cream cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining pecans with dried parsley (optional).
Add the green onion, dried cranberries, and white cheddar cheese.
Combine with a large wooden spoon or spatula.
Finish combining with your hands before forming into an even ball-shape.
Roll the ball onto the remaining pecans until evenly coated.
Wrap the cheeseball with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
I recommend letting it refrigerate overnight to allow for the flavors to really set.
Serve with your favorite crackers, pretzels or veggie sticks.
