This Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Vegan Cheese Ball has only five ingredients and literally takes a few minutes to make.

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 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!

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.
