Ingredients
Cheese ball:
16 ounces Cream Cheese – softened
4 Tablespoon Sour Cream
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Salt/Pepper – to taste
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1½ Cups Chopped Dill Pickles
2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Dill
Coating:
1/2 Cup Shredded/Chopped Cheddar Cheese

Directions
With hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix 1-2 minutes or until smooth and fluffy. Mix in shredded cheddar, pickles and fresh dill.
Lay two long strips of plastic wrap in an ‘X’ shape on a flat surface. Spoon cream cheese mixture into the center. Bring up edges of plastic wrap, close at the top tightening to create the cream cheese ball shape. Transfer to refrigerator and chill at least 2 hours or until firm.
Spread shredded/chopped cheddar, fresh dill and lemon zest in an even layer on a flat surface. Unwrap chilled cheese ball and roll onto toppings to coat. Gently press toppings into any non covered spots.
Transfer cheese ball to platter. Serve with crackers.
