cranberry cheese ball

This festive Vegan Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball is so easy to make and is the perfect holiday appetizer! Bonus: Can be made ahead of time! Only 4 ingredients.

Vegan Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball

vegan cream cheese

+ 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions

cranberries, divided

pecans, divided

If you have raw pecans, toast them in the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and and bake for about 7 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Add the vegan cream cheese and 1/4 cup chives/green onions (save 2 tablespoons for coating the ball) to a large bowl. With a hand mixer, beat them together until combined.

Mix in 1 cup of the cranberries and 1 cup of the toasted pecans, leaving 1/2 cup of each for coating the outside of the ball.

Place a clean tea towel in a small-medium sized bowl. Using a spatula, scoop all of the cheese into the bowl. Gather the corners of the towel and gently twist the top. You could also simply wrap it in plastic saran wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 3 days.

When ready to serve, combine the rest of the cranberries, pecans and chives/green onions on a flat surface such as a cutting board. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it gently in the mixture to coat.

Serve with crackers, pita chips or vegetables and enjoy!

The cheese ball is a staple at holidays and parties. This classic recipe is made with rich cream cheese, green onion, spices, and corned beef!

Cheese Ball

cream cheese (softened)

beef

green onions (finely diced)

Worcestershire sauce

lemon juice (to taste (I like a generous squeeze))

First, set aside a pinch or two of chopped beef and diced green onion for garnish.

Then, add remaining ingredients to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined.

Turn out cheese mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a ball.

Finally, wrap tightly and refrigerate at least two hours, or until ready to serve. Garnish with remaining beef and onion.
