Healthy Cheese Ball?
Yes, if it counts that it has kiwi and strawberries in it. Anyway, have you seen this recipe? I am not sure I had. But I'm sure going to give it a whirl!
"Better Than A Fruitcake Cheese Ball"
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 t. mayonnaise
¾ c. chopped pecans, divided
½ c. chopped candied kiwi fruit, divided
½ c. chopped candied strawberries, divided
Cream together Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Add ½ c. pecans, ¼ c. kiwi fruit and ¼ c. strawberries.
Mix remaining pecans, kiwi, and strawberries. Press coating mixture into cheese ball to make it stick. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 2-3 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Sounds wonderful, may just have to try it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great...I love cheeseballs...I will have to make this! Thanks! Stay warm tonight...a freeze!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious!! I'd have to forgo the pecans because I have 2 kids with nut allergies, but they'd love the rest of it :-) My mouth is watering right now.
