Ingredients
Scale
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries, sugar-free, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
Optional: seasoning mix or herbs
Instructions
Begin by gathering all of your ingredients on the counter. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Chop the fresh chives and pecans, and if you’re using dried cranberries, ensure they’re chopped into small pieces to allow for even distribution.
In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them until fully incorporated. Then, fold in the chopped pecans, cranberries, garlic powder, and salt until the mixture is well combined.
Once everything is blended together, scoop the mixture into your hands and mold it into a round ball. Place the shaped cheese ball on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.
After the chilling period, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator. Roll it in additional chopped pecans for a nice coating. Transfer it to your serving platter and surround it with some keto-friendly crackers or fresh vegetables.
