Do you think this could be made ahead and frozen? or stored in the fridge for a few days? I want to make this for Thanksgiving and I’m trying not to do too much the day of and the day before. It sounds delicious though!
Hi
I’m trying to make this but have tub philadelphia cream cheese and not the blocks 🙁 do you think it would still work and form into a ball? I have 7 hours before I have to serve tonight. If you could reply when you get a minute it, I would really appreciate 🙂 Thanks!!
I have only made it with the brick, but I do think the tub will work just fine. If it doesn’t seem thick enough, add some extra shredded cheese 🙂 Hope that helps!
I have made this for a couple of different parties an everybody loves it. Thank you for sharing!
Sounds delicious!!!
When do you take the plastic wrap off the ball? Sounds great!
