Crafting the perfect cheese ball is an essential skill for any entertainer worth their salt. And when it comes to showstopping holiday appetizers, the Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball reigns supreme. This festive, flavor-packed treat combines the richness of cream cheese, the sharpness of cheddar, and the sweet-tart contrast of dried cranberries and crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounce full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 and 3/4 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh green onions
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, 1 tablespoon of the green onions, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.

2. Form the cheese mixture into a ball shape.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together half of the chopped cranberries and half of the chopped pecans. Roll the cheese ball in this mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

4. Wrap the coated cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the texture.

5. When ready to serve, garnish the Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball with the remaining green onions, cranberries, and pecans. Serve with crackers, bread, or your favorite dippers.
