Ingredients
- two 8-ounce packages brick-style cream cheese very well softened (lite is okay)
- 8- ounces grated sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper with seeds and stem removed about 1/2 of a medium/large pepper
- ⅓ cup finely diced jalapeño pepper with seeds and stem removed about 1 medium/large pepper; if you want spread extra-spicy keep some or all of the seeds
- 2 finely minced cloves of peeled garlic
- optional 1/3 cup of chives green or red onion, corn, or bacon bits
- ½ cup Fisher Chopped Walnuts or as necessary to fully cover cheese ball
- ½ cup Fisher Natural Sliced Almonds or as necessary to fully cover cheese ball
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all ingredients except nuts, and stir to combine or use a handheld electric mixer and beat on low speed to combine. Make sure cream cheese is very well softened before beginning or it will be unnecessarily difficult to combine the ingredients.
- Using a spatula (or your hands), pat mixture into a ball inside bowl; it’s okay if it’s not perfectly round.
- Turn ball out onto a large piece of plasticwrap and wrap it up. Gently pat it into a nice smooth ball, and place ball inside a ziptop bag to prevent fridge smells.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to chill and firm up.
- Prior to serving, combine the walnuts and almonds in a medium bowl and gently roll the ball in nuts until it’s completely covered.
Notes
- Storage: Cheese ball will keep for at least 1 week airtight in the fridge and can be made many days in advance; however, don’t roll in nuts until day of serving.
