Instructions
In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper using a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar, chopped pickles, and fresh dill.
Lay two long strips of plastic wrap in an 'X' shape on a flat surface. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center. Bring up the edges of the plastic wrap, close at the top, and tighten to shape the cream cheese into a ball. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
Spread the shredded or chopped cheddar cheese, fresh dill, and lemon zest evenly on a flat surface. Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll it in the toppings to coat. Gently press the toppings into any uncovered spots.
Transfer the cheese ball to a platter and serve with crackers.
