Time 2h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (1 ounce)
1/4 cup green onion (white parts only)
1 (2 ounce) jar pimientos, drained
1 cup chopped pecans (Paula uses Fisher pecans)
10 slices bacon, cooked and finely crumbled
salt & fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon poppy seed

Steps:

  • Place the cream cheese and milk in a bowl; beat until well combined.
  • Add in shredded cheese, onions, pimento and HALF of each, crumbled bacon and chopped pecans; mix to combine.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap, then form into a ball; cover tightly and chill a minimum of 2 hours.
  • In a pie plate mix together the remaining chopped pecans and bacon, then mix in the parsley and poppy seeds.
  • Unwrap the cheese ball then gently roll into the nut mixture.
  • Wrap again in a clean piece of plastic wrap and chill up to 24 hours.

Tips:

  • For optimal results, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the better the cheese ball will taste. You can use semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing can make the cheese ball tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a fun twist, try adding other mix-ins to the cheese ball, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crushed pretzels.
  • Serve the cheese ball chilled. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This chocolate chip cheese ball is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give this chocolate chip cheese ball a try.
