Holiday Cooking with Kids - Easy and Elegant Cheese Balls

momstown Milton mamas and their junior chefs created an easy yet elegant cheese ball that the little ones pretty much made all by themselves! Special thanks to Mary-Anne Scaturchio-Selwa from My Smart Hands Milton for this sweet and delightful cheese ball recipe. 

What you need

1. 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

2. 3/4 cup coconut or chocolate chips or dried fruit (use whatever you have on hand!) 

3. 2 tbsp of Epicure Selections Mocha Cheese Seasoning

What you need to do

1. In a large bowl, add the Epicure Selections Mocha Cheese Seasoning to the cream cheese. 

2. Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese mixture until fluffy. 

3. Shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball. 

4. Roll coconut or whatever topping of choice (chocolate chips shown in pictures below) onto your cream cheese ball. 




This is how we roll!

With the holidays in full swing, this cheese ball making activity was a great way for our junior chefs to get into the festive spirit. They took simple ingredients and created a show stopping treat that could be proudly displayed on the holiday buffet table!
