When I make cheese balls three ingredients remain the same, cream cheese, butter, and milk. To that is usually added a cheese (cheddar, jack, swiss...etc.), spices, and fruit and/or nuts. Then it is rolled in some sort of crumb, often chopped nuts.
For a cranberry-tangerine cheese ball I would probably use swiss cheese, or jack cheese, a cherry flavoring [if using swiss] or orange flavoring, dried cranberries (chopped), tangerine zest{more difficult than zesting Oranges}, maybe a little squeezed and well drained tangerine pulp (too wet and the ball turns to mush), and a chopped walnut coating. If this sounds right to you, then we're good.
**Recipe (for any cheese ball):
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup shredded cheese (8 oz. by weight), or more
1/2 tsp flavoring (worcestershire sauce gives a smoky flavor, interestingly)
spices to taste (paprika gives an orange tint)
1/4 cup dried fruit or nut (optional)[or fresh vegetable or herb] to mix with the cheese
Crumb or chopped nut coating[enough to coat the ball]
- mix all ingredients together except coating [if it's dry and crumbly add milk a tsp at a time, if too wet add more shredded cheese]
-shape ball or log and refrigerate it wrapped in wax paper
- after about 1 hour [as it hardens but isn't solidified] unwrap it and roll it in the coating
-wrap it in wax paper and refrigerate over night
-warm cheese ball at room temperature about an hour before serving.{by now it'll be solidified and won't lose it's shape.}
According to the packaging it is sugar and carnauba wax.
It is simply sugar but it is a very coarse ground used for it's decorative looks and cruncy texture. You can get it at specialty, gourmet and baking supply stores.
you can, try Wensleydale cranberry cheese apple tarts, or cheese scones

It can be but cheese can be problematic as much cheese has rennet in it, which is not vegetarian. Always check the ingredients!
"Processed cheese food" like American Cheese and Velveeta. Lots of crazy ingredients in there.
