Ingredients for Avocado Cheese Ball

  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • Onion
  • Nuts
  • Garlic Powder

How to Make Avocado Cheese Ball

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in the cheddar cheese, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
  5. Shape the mixture into a ball on a piece of plastic wrap. Tightly wrap the cheese ball in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the ball to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, roll the cheese ball in your desired topping (optional, such as chopped nuts, herbs, or chili powder).
  7. Serve with crackers, vegetables, or tortilla chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
