I think I have a new favorite appetizer I’m going to be making for parties: these mini cheese balls. They’re super yummy, and so unique.

The best appetizer recipe for carrot cheddar cheese ballsAs I was thinking about Easter – more on that in a second – I made sure I was stocked up on carrots, because every year I make carrot cake with caramel spiced pecans. The carrots just looked so appealing, I decided to snag some from the bag to make into a little savory appetizer, and so these mini cheese balls were made.

The perfect appetizer are these mini carrot cheddar cheese ballsIf you want, you could totally make one big cheese ball and call it a day.

How to make the best mini cheddar carrot cheese ballsOk, so Easter – can you believe it’s this weekend? I just cannot believe it. Time is flying. I’m in some serious denial over here. It could have to do with the fact that life is insane right now. I’m 7 months pregnant and we’re in the midst of selling our house. Please send prayers/good thoughts for a smooth sale and transition(right now we don’t know where we’ll be going next – if we’re going to end up in a new house or an apartment until we find a house). I just keep telling myself everything happens for a reason and will happen as it’s supposed to. Timing is getting a little tight though. We haven’t done anything in terms of setting up a nursery, and like I said, we’re just hoping everything goes through with the sale, aaaannnnnd timing is getting a little tight. Eeeek. Hopefully I’ll have an amazing update for you in the next few weeks. Fingers and toes crossed and prayers are really welcome!

The most delicious mini carrot cheddar cheese balls appetizerBecause of all the house showings, I haven’t really been wanting to make the house smell, or dirty up the kitchen, so the fact that these awesome mini cheese balls are no bake or cook is a huge plus in my book.

And with only 5 ingredients you simply cannot go wrong (these cheese balls are this week’s Five Ingredient Friday!)

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 18 -20 cheese balls

Ingredients

  • 2 large carrots grated (about 1 cup grated)
  • 8 oz cream cheese 1 block, I have used reduced fat and that works great too, at room temp
  • 1 cup 2 oz shredded/grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Grate carrots into a bowl.
  • Add cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne and stir (this will take some muscle, or you can use a stand mixer to mix it.) Make sure everything is combined and no large chunks of cream cheese remain.
  • Using a tablespoon size cookie scoop, scoop balls and place them on a plate. You can form them into more neat and exact circles with your hands if you'd like. If you don't have a cookie scoop you can just measure out a heaping spoonful and then shape it into a small cheese ball.
  • You could also just leave the mixture in the bowl and serve it like a dip, or form one big cheese ball.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour, then serve.

    How the heck did we miss that back in April?:) What a wonderful, easy and delicious recipe! Great job Phi! We bet these must be awesome with breadsticks or rusks. But Panos sitting next to me, already suggested something totally different; spreading this over baked potatoes:) (eyes looking to the ceiling, lips tight thinking how it would be)
    Thanx for the yummy recipe sweetie!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
Read my full review of these books in my latest blog post! ❤️
