Description

A sweet and tangy cheeseball, great for parties, showers, and pig-out sessions in front of the television. My sister-in-law first made this, and I’ve loved it ever since.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces, weight Craisins
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 16 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 box (about 16 Oz. Box) Gingersnaps Or Graham Crackers, Crushed

Preparation

Combine Craisins, sugar, and cream cheese in a bowl and mix until blended. Cover the bowl and chill for 45 minutes or until cold and firm. Shape into a ball and roll in crushed gingersnaps or graham crackers. Chill for another 15 minutes and serve with butter crackers (like Ritz) or pretzel sticks.

Also very tasty on bagels.

I was looking for something different to serve for snacks during the day on Christmas…this sounds perfect! Thanks for a great idea!

This is really good. I added the zest of an orange because I love it and walnuts as well. It was devoured upon arrival. A nice change and a keeper.
