Cranberry-Blue Cheese Ball

By Stina

I had this at a party and it was fabulous! I couldn't stop eating it so I got the recipe and thought I would share. The addition of cranberries makes for a different and pleasantly surprising tasting cheeseball. I think it will make a nice festive addition to your Christmas buffet or party! Cook time equals chill time.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
• 1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
• 1 (6 ounce) bag dried sweetened cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Place cheddar cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.

2 Pulse until cheese is coarsely chopped.

3 Add remaining ingredients and process until well combined.

4 Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface.

5 Scoop the cheese mixture out onto the plastic wrap, gather up the corners of the plastic wrap and form into a ball.

6 Refrigerate overnight.

7 Let sit out at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
