Jalapeno Cream Cheese Dip Cheese Ball

Cheese Balls are great for holiday feasts and party spreads because they stand out. Compared to regular dip in a bowl cheese balls are just EXTRA.

Jalapeño Poppers are one of my favorite flavor combos. Bacon, jalapeños and cream cheese are meant to be together. All that flavor in a low carb Keto-friendly appetizer.

Ingredients Needed For This Low Carb Cheese Ball (screenshot for grocery list)

• Cream Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Garlic Powder
• Jalapeños
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar
• Bacon
• Salt/Pepper
• Green Onions
• Pecans

How To Make Cheese Balls

1. Using hand mixer, mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy. Add garlic powder, jalapeños, shredded cheese, bacon, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
2. Lay two long strips of plastic wrap in an ‘X’ shape on a flat surface. Spoon cream cheese mixture into the center. Bring up edges of plastic wrap, close at the top tightening to create the cream cheese ball shape. Transfer to refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour to firm.
3. Spread prepared coating ingredients (bacon, jalapeño, cheddar, green onions and pecans) in an even layer on a flat surface. Unwrap chilled cheese ball and roll onto coating ingredients. Gently press onto any non covered spots.
4. Transfer cheese ball to serving platter. Serve with celery, peppers, pork rinds or any other low carb dippers.
