My sous-chef dish-washing mom came home from Community Bible Study all excited with a recipe in hand!  “You’ve just got to make this” she said.

Our friend Barbara made this dessert cheese ball for a fellowship lunch.  Everyone went wild over the surprised rich white chocolate liberally mixed together with a fine vanilla extract.  Cream cheese and butter are the base for the ball and then finely chopped pecans round it all out.

Barbara served this delectable dessert on graham crackers and mom said it was great.  We decided to serve them on belVita crackers and I highly recommend it.  Wow, what a lovely dessert.   Add a little fruit on the side and this is a home run!

The cream cheese could easily be colored green for St. Patrick’s Day, red for Valentine’s Day or Christmas and  even blue for the 4th of July!

Happy Spring!  Enjoy the cheese ball!

Notes
<span></span>This cheese ball mixes in a couple of minutes in a food processor!

Adding food color to the mixture will add a festive touch for St. Patrick's Day (green), red dye for Valentine's or Christmas or even blue dye for the 4th of July!

I like to serve with brown sugar and cinnamon belVita crackers. Just delicious!
