Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins, chopped (optional)
  • Crackers or vegetable sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, goat cheese, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until the ingredients are well blended and creamy.
  2. Add the Flavors: Gently fold in the chopped chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the cheese mixture. Mix until all the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the creamy cheese filling.
  3. Shape the Cheeseball: Using your hands, shape the cheese mixture into a ball, ensuring that it is compact and holds its shape. Wrap the cheeseball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  4. Coat the Cheeseball: Once the cheeseball is firm, remove it from the refrigerator, unwrap it, and roll it in the finely chopped mixed nuts. Press the nuts onto the surface of the cheeseball to ensure they adhere well. If using, roll the cheeseball in the chopped dried cranberries or raisins for an added pop of color and sweetness.
  5. Present Your Masterpiece: Transfer the cheeseball to a serving platter. If desired, you can garnish with additional fresh herbs for decoration.
  6. Serve with Joy: Serve with an assortment of crackers or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy the smiles as everyone delights in this savory treat!
