How to make a cheeseball
Once youve decided on your cheeseball recipe, mix up the ingredients.
I usually start with room temperature ingredients because they incorporate easier.
Many recipes dont specify, so its really up to how much elbow grease you want to put in.
Before you add the ricotta, scoop it onto a couple pieces of paper towels and press it dry.
Serve withcannoli crackers, plain tea biscuits, Nilla wafers, or any sturdy cookies.
Stir in the melted butter quickly, so it doesnt get chunky.
Mix in the orange zest, cinnamon, and one tablespoon of chopped pistachios.
Pour the chocolate chips and extra pistachios into a bowl wide enough to hold the cheeseball.
Let this chill in the fridge to set up for a couple hours.
Take off the wrap and roll it in the chocolate pistachio mixture.
