CREAM CHEESE BALL

The best easy cream cheese ball with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, strawberry preserves and spices, then rolled in chopped pecans. It disappears at parties!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8-ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/3 cup strawberry preserves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6-10 dashes hot sauce
1 cup freshly shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup raw pecan pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Crackers or baguette slices ((I like buttery Ritz-type crackers or town house crackers))

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and preserves until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl, then beat in the garlic powder, salt, and hot sauce, and then the cheddar cheese.
  • Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Scrape the cheese mixture into the center in as circle-like of a mound as you can. It will not be a perfect ball at this point. Wrap the edges of the plastic around it to seal and encourage it to form a round ball. Place the wrapped cream cheese in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Toast the pecans: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spread the pecans onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring once or twice, until they are deeply toasted and fragrant. Watch very carefully toward the end of the baking time to ensure the pecans do not burn. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small bits. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  • When ready to serve, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator. Place the chopped pecans on a plate. (I find it's easiest to use a plate with edges that curve up a little. A pie dish works well too.) Add the parsley and lightly mix with your fingers to combine. Unwrap the cheese ball and place it on the plate with the parsley and pecans, coating well. The cheese ball won't roll like a true ball. Gently lift and turn it, patting the pecans and parsley all over the outside. Carefully lift it onto a serving plate. Serve with crackers or baguette slices.

CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD



Canadian Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread image

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

CREAM AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL



Cream and Cheddar Cheese Ball image

Very tasty, and quick to prepare, with a minimum of ingredients. McLaren's Imperial Cheese (red container, black lid) is I believe a Canadian product from the Kraft family. It's described as a "Sharp Cold Pack Cheddar". If this particular brand is not available to you, I would think any sharp cheddar would work equally as well. Best made the day before serving. Cooking time indicates minimum chilling time.
