Mini Cheese Balls (for DIY Charcuterie Cups)
These mini cheese balls are so quick and simple to put together. They are the perfect addition to any DIY charcuterie board or cups! Best part is, you can make them ahead of time and then assemble them in your cups or board later.
Servings 16 mini cheeseballs
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 green onion chopped (white and green parts)
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or similar)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup crushed nuts for outside coating (I used pistachios, measurement is approximate)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the crushed nuts in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Use a tablespoon-sized scooper to roll the cheese mixture into equal-sized balls.
- Freeze or store in the fridge for up to three days (I made mine in advance and pulled them out of the freezer before traveling). Just before serving, roll the cheese balls around in the crushed nuts until evenly coated.
Notes
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
