      👨‍🍳 How To Make

      Follow this easy recipe:

      Step 1

      Freeze the cream cheese block for 45 minutes. Then, slice it into 7 or 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

      Step 2

      In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and set aside.

      Step 3

      Place the pork rind crumbs in a separate bowl.

      Step 4

      Dip each cream cheese ball in the egg mixture and then coat with the pork rind crumbs.

      Step 5

      Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until crispy, or air fry at 400°F for about 10 minutes.

      💡Tips

      1. Double Coating The Cheese Balls

      For an extra crispy coating that won’t fall off, double-dip your cream cheese balls. First, dip in egg, then pork rinds, then quickly dip in egg again and give them a final coat of pork rinds.

      This creates a thicker coating that stays put during cooking and gives you that perfect crunch. You will obviously need more pork rinds and 1 extra egg.

      2. Timing 

      Keep a close eye on these during the last few minutes of cooking. They can go from perfectly golden to too brown very quickly.

      Start checking at the 8-minute mark. They’re done when they’re golden brown and the coating feels firm when gently touched with a spatula. 

      3. Let Them Cool

      Let these bites rest for about 3-5 minutes after cooking. They’re very hot inside when they first come out, and the cream cheese needs a little time to set back up.

      If you bite into them too soon, the hot cream cheese might ooze out. Plus, the coating gets even crispier as it cools slightly. 

      FAQ

      1. My pork rinds aren’t sticking well – what am I doing wrong?

      If your pork rinds aren’t sticking well, it’s usually because either the egg wash isn’t coating the cream cheese ball completely, or the pork rind crumbs are too coarse.

      Make sure to beat the eggs really well so they’re uniform and slightly foamy – this helps them coat better. Roll the cream cheese ball around in the egg to cover every spot. Then, really press the pork rind crumbs on with your hands.

      Don’t just drop the ball in the crumbs and roll it around – actually press the crumbs into the surface.

      2. Can I use flavored pork rinds?

      Yes! You can use any flavor of pork rinds you like (simply crush them and make crumbs). Spicy ones add a nice kick, and barbecue flavored ones work great too.  Also, if you’re strict carnivore, check the ingredients.
