Tips for Making the Perfect Cheese Ball
Cheese balls make the perfect appetizer for game day or holidays! They’re fast and easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Here are some tips for perfecting your cheese ball skills.
- Can I adjust the size? Be sure to double the recipe for a larger party or make multiple smaller cheese balls to go around the table. Try turning this everything bagel cheese ball into mini bites. Use the instructions in my cheese ball bites recipe. It’s a great finger food idea!
- Do I have to soften the cream cheese? Before you make your cheese ball, leave your cream cheese on the counter to soften. This will usually take about one hour. It makes the cream cheese mix better without lumps.
- The best mess free shaping tip! I find it easiest to transfer the mixture onto a section of plastic wrap. Pull the corners together and twist them to easily form a ball with minimal mess. Roll your cheeseball on the counter to help form the ball. Then, finish shaping it with your hands. Chill it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it!
- Dipping Ideas: My favorite way to serve this everything bagel cheese ball is with bagel chips! You can also serve it with fresh vegetables, pretzels, crackers, or pita chips.
Storing Leftovers
If you’re lucky enough to have some of your cheese ball left over, here’s how to keep it tasting fresh!
- In the Refrigerator: Store your cheese ball in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for 3-4 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving so it’s nice and soft!
