PINEAPPLE AND CREAM CHEESE BALL
This is a simple, fast, and easy holiday cheese ball recipe. It will remind you of your childhood if you are of a vintage age. If you loved the taste of Kraft® pineapple cheese spread on a Ritz® cracker this will really bring back comfort food memories. Makes a great potluck dish for parties. This is a big favorite at the holidays. I like to serve this with Chicken in a Biscuit® type of cracker, but your favorite crackers will do very nicely.

Steps:
- 1. Open packages of cream cheese and place in bowl. Start draining the pineapple right away and get as much of the juice separated from the fruit as you can.
- 2. Mix the powdered sugar into the cream cheese, using your hand which should be gloved. A mixer will work too, but you would need to clean off the paddle. The hand works really good on these cheese balls.
- 3. Add the chopped up nuts and mix it very good with hand. Assuming the pineapple has been drained from the juice, add it last and mix thoroughly a few minutes.
- 4. Form into a nice round ball, and roll in crushed up nuts...Refrigerate to firm up and serve with crackers of any type, or cut up fruit and spread the cheese on it. Very good...a crowd pleaser for sure.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese: The quality of cream cheese makes a big difference in the overall taste of the pineapple cream cheese ball. Choose a cream cheese that is smooth, creamy, and full-flavored.

- Garnish the pineapple cream cheese ball with chopped pineapple, nuts, or fresh herbs: Garnishing the pineapple cream cheese ball adds a pop of color and flavor. Get creative with your garnish choices!
