Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Ball is a flavorful addition to your holiday spread. Packed with tangy goat cheese, sweet dried cranberries, pecans, and green onions, this cheese ball is sure to be a hit at any gathering!

  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 8 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped, divided use
  • 1 cup pecan chips, divided use
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions, divided use
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and goat cheese. Mix until well combined.
  2. Add half of the cranberries, half of the pecans, and half of the green onions, along with all of the Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
  3. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spoon the mixture into the center of the plastic wrap. Bring up the edges of the plastic wrap to cover the cheese and form it into a ball. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  4. Before serving, place the remaining cranberries, pecans, and green onions in a shallow bowl. Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the mixture to cover.
  5. Serve with crackers.

Notes

Make sure everything is chopped well so the cheese ball forms nicely. Smaller pieces work best to form the coating. Chill for at least 3 hours for best texture. Serve with your favorite crackers.
