Cranberry Cheese Ball Ingredients

  • Goat cheese – Plain, allow to come to room temperature
  • Honey – I love fancy honey, but any kind will work.
  • Dried cranberries – If you can’t find plain dried cranberries, Craisins will work as well.  I prefer the low sugar version.
  • Walnuts – Chopped or blitzed in a food processor.

    I don't understand: How is a recipe using cheese in any form "Paleo"?

    1. Hi! Many paleo folks reincorporate dairy (especially goat milk/cheese) if they find that it doesn't cause any ill effects for them. Thanks for the comment 🙂

  4. Have you tried this with pecans instead of walnuts?

    1. I haven’t, but pecans go great with goat cheese so I’m sure it would be delicious!
