Ghost Pepper Cheese Ball

 

Ghost Pepper Cheese Ball

For those that like a little extra spice in their life, this Ghost Pepper Cheese Ball is made for you!  Tangy cream cheese combined with ghost pepper powder and a savory blend of spices make the perfect spicy addition to your spread!

Ingredients:

    • 8 oz cream cheese softened
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp onion powder
    • 1/4 tsp chili powder
    • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1/8 tsp Jerry’s original ghost pepper powder
    • 1/4 cup Optional exterior: minced jalapeno, shredded cheese, chopped nuts

 

Instructions:

  1. Add cream cheese and spices to a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash everything together until it’s combined very well, being sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  2. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes so the flavors can develop and infuse the cream cheese.
  3. Take the cream cheese mixture out of the fridge and form it into a ball. When you like the shape of your cheese ball you can leave it as is, or press some minced jalapeno, nuts, or shredded cheese to the exterior. Refrigerate until you’re ready to eat. Serve with your favorite crackers and a cheese knife to make serving easier.
            • CAUTION: USE GLOVES WHILE HANDLING GHOST PEPPERS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.
