Keto New Year’s Herb and Walnut Cheese Ball
How to Make It
Step 1
Finely chop the parsley and chives and add them to a bowl. Mix until combined, then transfer 1 tbsp to a plate. To the large bowl with the herbs, add the cream cheese.
Step 2
Mince the garlic and add it to the cream cheese and herbs. Add lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and salt and mix. Transfer the cream cheese to the center of a large piece of cling film and roughly form it into a ball.
Step 3
Pull the sides of the cling film to the center and twist, forming a cheeseball. Roll on a surface to make a proper ball. Transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Step 4
Add the crushed walnuts to the plate with the herbs. Mix to incorporate. Unwrap the cheeseball and roll it into the walnut and herb mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the cheeseball to a serving platter. Serve with Keto crackers and veggies.
