Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to making your very own Heavenly Pineapple Cheeseball:


Ingredients:

For the Cheeseball:

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (optional for color)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Coating:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for added freshness and color)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple

  • Start by draining the crushed pineapple using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  • Press firmly to remove as much juice as possible. Excess moisture can make the cheese ball too soft and hard to shape.

Step 2: Mix the Cheeseball Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese.
  • Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Flavor

  • Stir in the drained pineapple, chopped green and red bell peppers, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should be thick and textured, but still cohesive.
