Cheese Balls Three Ways image

One base recipe you divide into three. I made this last night for a jewelry party. Had major recipe requests. These are delicious! Am taking to a party this weekend, and one of my guests from last night asked me to bring to her Christmas. From Martha Stewart Living December 05 issue.

Yield 3 cheese balls, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
5 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
8 ounces orange sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
2 tablespoons chutney (I used bottled mango chutney from grocery store)
3/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
6 ounces Roquefort cheese
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons brandy (optional)
1 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
8 ounces goat cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1/3 cup fresh curly-leaf parsley, finely chopped

  • Put butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper into bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until combined. Divide equally among 3 medium bowls.
  • Stir cheddar cheese and chutney with base mixture in the first bowl. Form into a ball and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to one month. After thoroughly chilled, smooth into perfectly round ball with hands and roll in cranberries to coat before serving. Serve with crackers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese balls didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cheese balls were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I made these cheese balls with goat cheese instead of cheddar and they were delicious! I also added some chopped herbs to the batter.

These cheese balls were a little too rich for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best cheese balls he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of cheese balls, but these were actually really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the texture was perfect.
