Best Cheese Ball
Best Cheese Ball
I made this on 13 Sep 2020, and chilled it overnight and then rolled in the nuts on the 14th. Tasted it, and I will say this is an excellent cheese ball! My family that has tried this say it is really tasty. Doubtful this would be able to be made in Thailand as written since the jarred cheese would probably not be available.
Ingredients
- 2 packages Cream cheese, softened, (8 oz / 250 g packages)
- 1 jar Kraft Old English Sharp Cheddar, (5 oz / 142 g)
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion salt
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice, depends on how tangy you want this
- 2 heaping tablespoons mayo
- 2 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
- crackers, your choice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the first 7 ingredients.
- Mix together until combined and smooth.
- Shape into a ball. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on the counter and place the ball on top. Wrap up with the plastic wrap. Place wrapped ball on a plate and place in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
- Just before you are ready to serve, go ahead and chop the pecans and parsley. Place these on a plate and mix together.
- Unwrap the ball, and roll on the pecans to coat the outside.
- When fully coated, place in the center of a serving plate, and circle the ball with crackers of your choice. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost due to the high number of servings.
Variant: 1. You can prepare this 2 days ahead of time, just keep in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap until you are ready to serve.
