Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, chèvre, softened
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 3/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Place the cream cheese, goat cheese, cranberries and orange zest in a bowl and combine thoroughly.
  • Scoop the mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and gather the wrap together to form a ball about 4 inches in diameter. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then unwrap and roll in the toasted pecans.
  • The cheese ball can either be served at this point or re-wrapped and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Serve with crackers or thin slices of toasted baguette.
