Instructions
- Blend Base: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in Flavor: Add garlic powder, jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the Cheese Ball: Lay two strips of plastic wrap in an ‘X’ shape on a flat surface. Spoon the mixture into the center and twist the wrap to form a ball shape. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Coat the Cheese Ball: Spread chopped jalapeños, green onions, pecans, and shredded cheddar on a flat surface. Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll it in the coating, pressing gently to adhere.
- Serve: Place the coated cheese ball on a serving platter. Serve with low-carb dippers like celery or pork rinds, or with crackers for a more indulgent option.
- Enjoy: Savor the creamy, spicy flavors at your next gathering!
