📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cheese Ball
2
Add all of the Cheese Ball ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
3
Drop mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap, cover tightly, and shape into a ball. Don’t worry about the shape being perfect – you can refine it later when you coat the cheese ball.
4
Chill in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 2 hours to firm but best if allowed to chill ⏱️ 24 hours so the flavors can meld. Roll in coating as close to serving as possible.
5
Coating
6
Add all of the Coating ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
7
Spread Coating in an even layer on cutting board/parchment lined counter. Remove cheese ball from refrigerator and roll in Coating mixture, pressing to adhere, until evenly coated. At this point you can refrigerate for ⏱️ 1-2 hours until ready to serve. Serve with crackers and/or bell peppers.
