Date Cheese Ball

Category: Cheese, Appetizers
Ingredients List
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- â…“ cup cottage cheese, drained
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup dates, seeds removed and finely chopped (I prefer to buy the whole ones and chop them myself; the commercially chopped dates seem to have a lot of sugar added.)
- ½ cup pecans, toasted and chopped
Directions
1. Combine cream cheese, cottage cheese and lemon juice in mixer or food processor until smooth. No one will be able to discern the use of cottage cheese. Promise!
2. Stir in dates. If using food processor, pulse only 5-6 times until mixed. Refrigerate until firm.
3. Roll chilled cheese mixture in pecans that have been toasted in the microwave on a paper plate and then chopped for easy cleanup. Make a ball or get creative. Find a cool little dish with an oval or square shape or even a funnel for a cone shape. Line with plastic wrap. Force cheese mixture into shape of bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
