Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Toppings
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup nuts, chopped
- tbsp green onions, chopped
- tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Add cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, scallions and garlic powder to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until everything is combined.
- Fold in the cheddar cheese by hand.
- Form the mixture into a large ball. It will get messy so sometimes gloves help! Also if it is sticking to your hands you can wet them or refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes before rolling.
- In a shallow bowl combine cranberries, nuts, scallions and parsley.
- Roll the cheese ball in the toppings. I like to then roll the cheeseball in my hands again to get the toppings to stick.
- Roll the cheeseball up in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until your are ready to serve!Enjoy with crackers and veggies!
