Red Velvet Cheese Ball

Luscious red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting flavors come together for a one of a kind dessert experience. Red velvet cheese balls are perfect for Valentine's Day, Christmas or just because! 

    Red velvet is everywhere... and Valentine's day is coming up, so that only accelerates the red velvet madness.  Add to that the cheese ball resurgence and it's a perfect storm.


  I have to say it's a storm I can totally get behind too!  Cheese balls are easily adaptable for any taste or occasion.  So why not do a make a dessert cheese ball that's perfect for Valentine's Day  (or Christmas, or just because!)?

      This is easy to make, and has that wow factor.  It would be great on a buffet at a party.  In fact it has been very well received on multiple spreads at our house!

    Everyone can take as much or as little as they like and other than putting it out and assembling some dippers, it doesn't take any last minute work.  It can be made ahead of time and doesn't involve much mess.

     It would be a show stopper at a potluck or fun for a picnic.  And just think of all of the fun dippers you can use.  We love vanilla wafers, animal crackers, graham crackers and even pretzels. I'm sure it would be great on chocolate sandwich cookies as well!

      If you like red velvet inspired recipes, you'll have to check out my red velvet puppy chow. Or maybe all this talk has you craving cake.  If that's the case, scratch that itch with a lemon velvet cake with lemon sweetened condensed milk frosting. It's so good!

      Valentines inspired treats can be so much fun. If you'd rather have your red velvet in cupcake form, check out these 5 ingredient red velvet cupcakes. The 5 ingredients gets you both the cake and the frosting!

      Maybe you would rather have cookies.  These vanilla bean cookies are super cute and the chocolate hearts make them adorable for Valentine's day. I have a peanut butter heart blossoms recipe as well! 

     If you are watching your carbs, my friend Grumpy's Honeybunch has a fun chocolate mayo cake that is sized for two and keto friendly! 

     But whatever else you make to celebrate Valentine's Day, be sure to have this cheese ball on your menu.  It is sure to get their hearts beating and their sweet teeth happy.  Plus is is so fun to make and eat, it's just a winner all the way around!
