Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Vegan Cheese Ball with Pizza Crackers.

I love recipes that are easy and take little effort. This Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Vegan Cheese Ball is just that kind of recipe. It has only five ingredients, and it literally only takes a few minutes to throw together.

The crackers in the photo are my Pizza Crackers, which have all the flavors of a pizza in a cracker form.

Now that the holidays are upon us, this is the perfect time to make this Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Vegan Cheese Ball. I served this to some non-vegans who loved it. They didn’t ask what was in it, they only commented on how much they loved it. Score!

I have said this before, and I will say it again. Yes, it is really important which brand of vegan cream cheese you use. I have had at least one brand that is a bit too creamy and kind of on the side of liquidy. Yuck, right!

Those are NOT the ones you want to use for a vegan cream cheese ball. You need to be able to mold the mixture into a ball. With a creamy, liquidy vegan cream cheese, that is just not possible.

I have been vegan for 17 years, and of all the vegan cheeses, I think I have tried more vegan cream cheeses than any other type of vegan cheese. My favorite is Tofutti.

As far as vegan cheddar, I have only tried a couple, but so far I love Follow Your Heart. I am the kind of person that when I find one that I love, I stick with it. If you have a different favorite, I would love to hear it. Even though I have my favorites, I am open to trying another.

If you are looking for a sweet and slightly spicy vegan cheese ball, try my Vegan Jalapeño Havarti Cream Cheese Date Ball. It is really addictive!

    • Thanks! It’s funny you mention one at a party, because come to think of it, I haven’t seen one at a party in ages! We just had a bday party, but of course I ate the vegan cheese ball earlier in the week, so oops, none left! I had to whip up my Chipotle Hummus instead, which actually worked out because we had all Mexican food, and the vegan cheese ball (poor thing) would not have fit in as well.

    • Yeah, I have been meaning to make more vegan cheese (instead of buying processed). So far I have only made a Nacho Cheese Sauce. Also, I am planning on making vegan lasagna this week, which will have vegan ricotta, so there’s one more to add to the list.

  4. Sundried tomatoes and basil are one of my favorite combinations with cheese. This would be a nice dish to take to a party this season!

  13. I made this for the family and they loved it! Next I am going to serve it at a party. I may make two just in case it goes over well.
