Don’t miss out on my original Cheese Ball recipe. You guys, I am so happy that the holiday season is here! As many of you know, I love creating recipes that are perfect for easy entertaining, and that is especially fun to do for you around the holidays because everything is so festive and merry. Guys, I just want to put tinsel on everything this minute. So this Olive Cheeseball is perfect for serving at a holiday cocktail party! It is a classic cheeseball recipe that took a little detour down the olive aisle of the grocery store and we should all be so happy that it did, because YUMMY! Making a cheeseball is super easy! They turn out so pretty though it’s easy to be intimated by them, but no need!
What to Serve with Cheeseballs
This cheese ball is great with a simple, plain crackers. I this so much flavor to it, you don’t need much in the cracker. Additionally, you could go with pretzel flats or pita chips. Alternatively, you could serve this with cucumber slices for a lower carb option. Keep a small cheese knife in your cheese ball and allow guests to spread the mixture onto the cucumber slices. I would recommend an English cucumber as they tend to have lower water content and be a bit firmer.
Making in Advance
This is makes a great holiday appetizer, and it is perfect for making in advance. Make the recipe through step 2 up to 24 hours in advance. Then fish off the recipe up to two hours before you want to serve it.
Storing Leftovers
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to four days. I do not recommend freezing leftovers of the recipe. The majority of the recipe is cream cheese, and freezing it will greatly change the consistency.
