Ingredients

  • 2 packages cream cheese, softened 8 ounce each
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 box lime gelatin mix 3 ounce
  • 3 limes zested
  • 1 lime juiced (about 2 Tablespoons)
  • 8 Graham crackers crushed (optional)
  • 2 pastel nonpareils
  • 6 strawberry yogurt covered raisins
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with the lime gelatin, zest of 3 limes, and juice from 1 lime. Beat until creamy and well blended.
  2. Divide cheeseball in half. Wrap one half of the cheeseball in plastic wrap and form a ball. To the remaining half, divide in three balls (two medium and a small) and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  3. To serve, spread graham cracker crumbs on serving plate (or cheese board). Place the large cheeseball in the middle and two medium ones on the end for the feet and the small on on the lower section of the top of the body (see process photos in blog post).
  4. Place one pastel nonpariel on the center of each foot with three yogurt raisins under to resemble the paw.
  5. Press shredded coconut all over the cheese ball.
  6. Serve with vanilla wafers, fresh fruit slices, or pretzels.

Notes

  • Swap out the nonpareils and yogurt covered raisins for pink M&M's or jelly beans.
  • An easy way to shap the cheeseball into a ball is to line a bowl with plastic wrap, spoon the mixture into the plastic wrap lined bowl, and cover.
  • Store cheese ball in refrigerator until ready to serve. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days.
