Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese with Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup blackberries frozen
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3/4 cup granola chopped slightly
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries chopped small

Instructions

  • Cream together both types of cream cheese and honey.
  • Fold in the frozen blackberries.
  • Shape into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 5 days.
  • When ready to serve, roll in the granola and dried cranberries.
  • Serve with breakfast cookies or bagel chips.

Notes

  • For this recipe I use Trader Joes Ancient Grains and Nuts Granola but feel free to use your favorite or make your own from scratch.
  • The cream cheese/Greek yogurt mix needs to stay cold as the cheese ball will be very loose if you use it softened so keep it cold while mixing.
  • I like to serve this Breakfast Cheese Ball with Chocolate Breakfast Cookies but it goes great with bagels, biscuits, and toast.
