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.

    This is my favourite dessert from Hawaii. It’s super simple, but is absolutely delicious. Unless you don’t like coconuts, but then you also don’t like happiness, so you can be sad while I eat my haupia.

      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.

  • 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.
