Cheese Ball

Print Recipe
Val B. has been making this for years, and it is one of my favourite Christmas treats. Even after I left the Okanagan, she would mail me a nice container of it along with some other Christmas baking. It's the perfect savoury spread. It's chunky, spots of green onion for a little crunch, a little bit of heat, but mostly just cheese. I put my own spin on the recipe in recent years, and no longer just make it for Christmas.
If you wanted to make it fancier, you could put it through a blender, and pipe it onto crackers for better presentation, but that seems awfully fussy.

  • Buttercream Frosting

    I always use this for Birthday Cakes. It holds a good from, and takes colouring really well. It is a lot of butter, so don’t go too crazy, otherwise you’ll get bathroom issues. C. just eats the icing, and tries to give the cupcake to whoever is closest.

  • Caramel Popcorn

    This was the favourite recipe I made for Stoki back in 2020. I had doubled the recipe and it was gone in moments. I should have quadrupled this recipe.

  • Lemonade

      I have made this for my entire life. Every winter, when lemons are in season,, we would make an enormous batch. It stores exceedingly well because it is so acidic. You can mix in the syrup to your own taste. Don’t let anyone tell you how much is too much. You know yourself.

  • Royal Icing

      It’s a solid icing to use on cookies. It’s slightly glossy and looks great. I hate using raw eggs, because of salmonella possibilities,but egg replacers work just as well.
