1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3-3/4 cups raw pecans

Categories     Party Food

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 8 oz. package of Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1 cup Shredded Cheese of your choice
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup Pecans (chopped)
1/4 cup Pecans (chopped) or 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (chopped)

Steps:

  • Add cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  • Add in grated cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Stir together until completely mixed.
  • Layout a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Spoon cheese mixture onto plastic wrap forming a ball (as best you can). Bring up sides of plastic wrap to form a ball shape. Make sure the cheese is completely covered. Use your hands to shape the mixture into a ball. Put in the refrigerator and chill cheese ball for at least two hours.
  • Take Cheese Ball out of the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Place the cheese ball on a plate and cover it with chopped pecans or a combination pecans and dried cranberries. Use a spoon or your fingers to press the pecans onto the cheese ball. You can try rolling the cheese ball in the chopped pecans, but it is sometimes hard to roll it and you don't want the cheese ball to lose its shape.
  • Store in the refrigerator until it is time to serve.
