Steps:
- Toast the pecans: preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until toasted and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. DO NOT WALK AWAY. Nuts love to burn at the last second. Let cool, then chop go for a medium chop, a little bit finer than rough chopped (but they certainly don't need to be microscopic pieces).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until smooth and combined.
- By hand, stir in the pineapple, bell pepper, and green onion.
- Add half of the chopped pecans.
- Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Scrape the cheese pineapple mixture into the center in as globe-like of a mound as you can. It will not be a perfect sphere at this point.
- Wrap the edges of the plastic around it to seal and encourage it to form a round ball. Place the wrapped cream cheese in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When ready to serve, remove the chilled cheese ball from the refrigerator. Place the chopped pecans on a plate. (I find it's easiest to use a plate with edges that curve up a little. A pie dish works well too.) Unwrap the cheese ball and place it on the plate with the pecans, coating well. The cheese ball won't roll like a real ball. Gently lift and turn it, patting the pecans all over the outside. Carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Serve with crackers or baguette slices and a sprinkle of additional green onion for garnish.

Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple: The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful your pastry will be.
- Drain the pineapple well: Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly before adding it to the pastry dough. This will prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the pastry until it is golden brown: The pastry should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. Insert a toothpick into the center of the pastry; if it comes out clean, the pastry is done.
Conclusion:
Pineapple cheese pastry is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky pastry crust, this pastry is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give pineapple cheese pastry a try. You won't be disappointed!
