Cranberry Orange Cheese Ball Recipe - Mashed

Before you can make this cranberry orange cheese ball recipe, you'll want to make sure that you have the right ingredients. Luckily, this won't be a very difficult task, because this recipe only requires five ingredients: cream cheese, an orange, dried and chopped cranberries, chopped pecans, and fresh parsley. The cream cheese will serve as the base of the ball, and you'll mix in orange zest and juice, along with some of the cranberries and pecans. On the outside of the ball, you'll use the cranberries, pecans, fresh parsley, and more zest for the coating. "If you want to add a pop of flavor, consider using fresh chives instead of parsley," Johnson suggests as a possible ingredient swap. And, when it comes to serving, she also recommends a side of crackers or sliced baguette.
