OLD SCHOOL CHEESE BALL

Gotta love this recipe. . .totally from a past generation, but not forgotten. I make this frequently and got the recipe from a co-worker named Karen about 8 years ago. Simple, yet a crowd-pleaser; the kids will even eat it! I have frozen this cheese ball with great results, so feel free to make 1 for now and 1 for later - just don't roll it in nuts until it has been thawed out.

Time 10m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (not low fat or non-fat because it needs to be thick)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft Old English cheese spread (sometimes I add an extra jar of this and make it into 2 balls)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft roka blue spread
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Let all three cheeses get to room temperature.
  • With a blender, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts.
  • Shape into 1 or 2 balls (I always do 2 so that there are more nuts to go around).
  • Roll each cheese ball in nuts, place on a piece of waxed paper and put in the fridge to set up.
  • Serve with buttery crackers on the side.

Tips:

  • To make the cheese ball ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Before serving, let the cheese ball come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the cheese ball with crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of nuts, seeds, or herbs in the cheese ball.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead.
  • Be sure to use high-quality grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • If the cheese ball is too soft, add more grated Parmesan cheese.
  • If the cheese ball is too dry, add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • Garnish the cheese ball with chopped fresh herbs or paprika before serving.

Conclusion:

This Classic Roka Cheese Ball is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. The cheese ball is creamy and flavorful, with a hint of spice from the paprika. It is sure to be a hit with your guests!
