Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce, homemade or store-bought, plus extra for serving (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, plus extra for garnish (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup mini pepperoni slices or finely diced pepperoni
- Extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil, for drizzling (optional)
How to Make It
- Place the cheeses, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, if using, in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator to thicken overnight.
- Remove the cheese mixture from the fridge. Take 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a golf ball–sized ball. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture, making a total of 8 balls.
- Roll the balls in the pepperoni. Garnish with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil and serve with additional pizza sauce, if desired.
- Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
