CRANBERRY AND PECAN CHEESEBALL RECIPE
Ingredients
1/2 Cup / 50g Pecans
9 oz / 250g Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup / 60g Sour Cream
1 Cup / 85g Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Cup / 120g Dried Cranberries
2 Tbsp Chives chopped
Instructions
Roughly chop the pecans. We want smaller and larger pieces to create texture. Place onto a baking sheet and toast in a 200C / 400F oven for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
In a medium sized mixing bowl add the cream cheese. Mix with a wooden spoon for a minute or two to soften. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Fold together until combined. Set the bowl to the side.
Add the cranberries to the bowl with the pecans and toss together. Pour half of the mixture into the bowl with the cheese and save the rest for later. Fold together until combined.
Pour the cheeseball mixture out onto a length of plastic wrap or cooking paper. Bring up the sides to tightly wrap the mixture and shape into a ball. Place into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Remove the cheeseball from the fridge and press into the correct shape. Pour the remaining cranberry and pecan mixture onto a plate and add the chives. Unwrap the cheeseball and roll around on the plate, pressing the coating in.
Serve now or keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Notes
If you are tight on time, toasting the pecans can be skipped.
Walnut or almonds can be used in place of pecans.
The cheeseball can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Cranberry Pecan Cheese Log
This easy cheese log recipe requires just 5 ingredients! It's the ultimate crowd pleaser and makes the perfect finger food at gatherings. Chris x
FULL RECIPE POST:
INGREDIENTS
9oz / 250g Cream Cheese
1 cup / 150g Dried Cranberries, roughly diced
1 cup / 125g Pecans, roughly diced
1 cup / 100g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/4 cup / 4 tbsp finely diced Chives (could sub spring onion)
????METHOD????
In a small mixing bowl combine diced pecans, cranberries and chives.
In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese & cheddar, then use a spatula to combine with HALF of the pecan mix (save the rest to coat the outside).
Add the cheese mix to a large sheet of cling film and mould into a log shape, using the cling film to tightly contain it (see video for guidance). Pop in the fridge until ready to serve. I recommend at least an hour anyway, just to firm up the cheese. If your mix is fairly firm you'll get away with skipping the resting time.
When ready to serve, spread the second half of your pecan mix on a chopping board. Unwrap the cheese log and coat all over with the pecan mix.
Serve on a board with crackers. Enjoy!
