Pecan Pie Cheese Ball Recipe

This sweet, Southern-inspired cheese ball channels all the best flavors of a classic pecan pie—from the crunchy pecan coating to the gooey, caramel center. The cream cheese base is enriched with vanilla pudding mix to create a smooth, almost cookie dough-like texture that’s perfect for scooping with apple slices, graham crackers, or pretzel chips. This sweet, decadent spin on a traditionally savory appetizer is sure to impress every guest at your holiday table.

“The cheese ball on its own is delicious, but who doesn’t love a caramel center!” said recipe cross-tester Amanda Holstein.
