Report
This Garlic Cheese Ball recipe with Italian seasoning is a simple appetizer with 10 minutes prep time. It pairs well with crackers or a crusty Italian bread on a charcuterie board.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly shredded
- 1/4 cup Italian shredded cheese (or mozzarella cheese)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the garlic, sour cream, cheeses and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined. Chill for 1-2 hours. 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup Italian shredded cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Place the chopped nuts on a plate. Form the cheese mixture into a ball, then roll the ball in the chopped pecans until the outside of the cheese ball is completely covered. 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts
- Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until serving.
- Serve with crackers or veggies such as celery,
Notes
- I've not tried this recipe using reduced fat cream cheese or sour cream. You could definitely make this substitute, but it will make the cheese ball softer. I recommend using full fat.
