Easy Jalapeño And Red Pepper Cheese Ball Food

EASY JALAPEñO AND RED PEPPER CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add all ingredients except nuts, and stir to combine or use a handheld electric mixer and beat on low speed to combine. Make sure cream cheese is very well softened before beginning or it will be unnecessarily difficult to combine the ingredients.
• Using a spatula (or your hands), pat mixture into a ball inside bowl; it's okay if it's not perfectly round.
• Turn ball out onto a large piece of plasticwrap and wrap it up. Gently pat it into a nice smooth ball, and place ball inside a ziptop bag to prevent fridge smells.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to chill and firm up.
• Prior to serving, combine the walnuts and almonds in a medium bowl and gently roll the ball in nuts until it's completely covered.
