Ingredients

Cheese Ball
  • 2 blocks (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (143 g) dill pickles, finely diced, drained of excess liquid
  • 1 cup (135 g) deli ham, finely diced
  • ⅓ cup (64 g) dry ranch seasoning mix
Topping
  • ½ cup (71 g) dill pickles, finely diced, drained of excess liquid
  • ⅓ cup (16 g) chives, minced
  • ⅓ cup (36 g) pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

Cheese Ball
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, pickles, ham, and ranch seasoning until combined.
  2. Set out a 10×10-inch piece of plastic wrap.
  3. Using a spatula, form the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Grease your hands with butter or oil to prevent sticking (or use plastic wrap) and pick up the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Place the cheeseball onto the sheet of plastic wrap. Bring together the edges of the plastic wrap to seal the cheeseball. This should form a ball. Smooth out bumps as needed.
  5. Place cheeseball still wrapped in plastic into a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to overnight.
Topping
  1. On a plate or shallow bowl, combine dill pickles, chives, and pecans.
  2. Remove the chilled cheese ball from the plastic wrap and roll the cheese ball in the pecan mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
  3. Serve with crackers or pretzels.
