I'm allergic to pecans. Can I substitute another nut, like walnuts or almonds?

This cheese ball is way too sweet for my taste. I would definitely reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese ball turned out really runny. I had to add more cream cheese to thicken it up.

I had trouble finding goat cheese at my local grocery store. I ended up using cream cheese instead. It was still good, but I think goat cheese would have been better.

This pear pecan cheese ball is absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet pears, crunchy pecans, and tangy goat cheese is perfect. I also love the addition of honey and cinnamon. It gives the cheese ball a nice depth of flavor.
