PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL

Pineapple lends a fruity tang to this fun and tasty appetizer. Instead of one large cheese ball, you could make two smaller ones...one to serve before a meal and one to take to a party. -Anne Halfhill, Sunbury, Ohio

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h23m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups raw pecan halves
2 (8-ounce) packages reduced fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 small red bell pepper (finely chopped (about 1 cup))
1/4 cup minced green onions (plus additional for garnish)
Crackers ((our family loves Triscuits or Ritz))
Toasted baguette slices

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.
