Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Refrigerator
  • Serving Platter

Ingredients

For the Cheeseball

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easy mixing
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Sharp cheddar preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances overall taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Herbs (Parsley and Dill) Fresh herbs can be substituted
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions Adjust based on your taste

For the Coating

  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts (Pecans or Walnuts) Provides crunch

For the Decoration

  • 2 tablespoons Olives or Peppercorns For eyes and buttons
  • 1 piece Carrot Used for the nose

Instructions

Making the Cheeseball

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency, ensuring no lumps remain.
  • Incorporate garlic powder and dried herbs, mixing well to distribute the flavors throughout the cheeseball mixture.
  • Gently mix in the chopped green onions.
  • Divide the mixture into two parts—one larger and one smaller. Shape the larger portion into a round ball for the body and the smaller one for the head.
  • Roll both balls in the chopped nuts until they're fully coated.
  • Use olives or peppercorns for the eyes and buttons, and position a carrot piece as the nose.
  • Place the snowman cheeseball on a platter and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Notes

Chill time is essential to achieve the right firmness and flavor blend. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs for extra festive flair.
