In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the Good Stuff:

Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped dill pickles, and fresh chopped dill. Stir until everything is well combined. 
3. Shape the Cheese Ball:

Lay two long strips of plastic wrap in an ‘X’ shape on a flat surface.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of the plastic wrap.
Bring up the edges of the plastic wrap and twist tightly to form a ball shape.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheese ball is firm. 
4. Coat the Cheese Ball:

On a flat surface, spread out the shredded cheddar, fresh chopped dill, and lemon zest.
Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll it in the coating mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks to any exposed areas. 
5. Serve:

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Serve with your favorite crackers, veggies, or pretzels.
