This sweet cream cheese ball it’s perfect for any occasion. Our Hey SHUGA! beautifully compliments the bold flavors of a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, which we used to flavor the cheese.
See below how it’s done:
Step 1: Have your all your ingredients ready, making sure the cream cheese has soften.
Step 2: Sweeten the cream cheese with Hey SHUGA!
Step 3: Add red wine.
Step 4: Mix well and set aside.
Step 5: Mix cranberries and almonds and set aside.
Step 6: Place the wine flavored sweetened cream cheese on a bowl covered in plastic wrap. This will give the cheese it’s round shape and the plastic wrap will help with removing the cheese ball from the bowl. Refrigerate.
Step 7: Once cooled and out of the fridge, cover with cranberry-almond mixture.
We love how the almonds and cranberry add a great contrast of texture.
Serve with crackers and enjoy!
