Keto Easter Cheese Ball

How fun is this carrot shaped low-carb Easter cheese ball? I love how festive it is and it’s a breeze to make!

I’m a sucker for a good cheese ball, it’s one of those things that I look forward to at every holiday party but I typically never make them just for the heck of it. That may have to change!

This cheese ball is packed with crispy bacon, bell peppers, green onion, and cheddar cheese. Yum! The cheddar makes it perfectly orange, no weird food dyes needed! Serve this up with your favorite keto crackers or sliced fresh veggies.

Step-by-step

1. In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, bacon, garlic salt, bell pepper, and green onion. Mix well.

2. Place a piece of plastic wrap down then place the cheese mixture in the middle, use your hands to shape the cheese into the shape of a carrot then wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least one hour.

   

3. Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and coat the outside with the grated cheddar.

4. Place the parsley on the top to mimic carrot tops.

   

5. Serve with your favorite keto crackers. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
