Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 jalapeños minced (save 1/2 for inside the cheese ball and 1/2 for the coating)
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese 1/2 cup for inside the cheese ball and 1/4 cup for the coating, shredded
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, half of your minced jalapeno, the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder and 1/2 cup of the cheddar. Use a hand mixer to mix everything together until it's combined very well, being sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula where cream cheese likes to hide! Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until the cream cheese isn't super soft.
- In a shallow dish, prepare the cheese ball coating by combining the other half of the minced jalapeno with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Take the cream cheese mixture out of the fridge and form it into a ball. I like to use my hands and roll it like a giant meatball. When you like the shape of your cheese ball, roll it around in the coating, pressing it on to make it stick. Refrigerate until you're ready to eat. Serve with your favorite crackers and a cheese knife to make serving easier. Enjoy!
