Recipe Yield: 2 cheese balls

Ingredients:

Ingredients Quantities
Cream Cheese 2 packages
Crushed Pineapple 1 can
Pecans 2 cups
Green Peppers 1 1/2
Seasoning Salt 1 teaspoon
Onions 2 tablespoons

Instructions:

  1. Soften Cream Cheese: Begin by allowing the cream cheese to soften at room temperature, ensuring itโ€™s pliable for mixing.

  2. Incorporate Pineapple: Once the cream cheese is soft, add the crushed pineapple to it. This will infuse the cheese with the sweet, tangy flavors of the tropical fruit.

  3. Add Flavorful Ingredients: Mix in the finely chopped green peppers, onions, and seasoning salt to the cheese and pineapple mixture. These ingredients add layers of savory and spicy notes, balancing the sweetness of the pineapple.

  4. Include Crunchy Pecans: Gradually fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans into the mixture. These nuts not only provide a delightful crunch but also enhance the overall texture and flavor profile of the cheese ball.

  5. Form Cheese Balls: Divide the mixture into two equal parts and shape them into balls using your hands. The size of each ball can vary depending on your preference.

  6. Coat with Pecans: Roll each cheese ball in the remaining chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step adds an extra layer of nuttiness and visual appeal to the cheese balls.

  7. Chill and Serve: Place the prepared cheese balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and firms up the cheese balls for easier slicing.

  8. Serve with Crackers: Once chilled, serve the Pineapple Cheese Balls with an assortment of crackers or bread slices. The combination of creamy cheese, sweet pineapple, and crunchy pecans pairs perfectly with the crispness of the crackers, creating a tantalizing flavor experience.

Whether youโ€™re hosting a holiday party or simply craving a delicious snack, these Pineapple Cheese Balls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Enjoy the tropical flavors and the joy they bring to any occasion! ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿง€
