Easy Breezy Pineapple Cream Cheese Ball
In my attempt to come up with a Holiday recipe in the form of a snack a pineapple cheese ball came to mind. So, I went out, bought the supplies, made it, and the outcome was simply superb. Made with a combination of Philadelphia cream cheese, pineapple, red bell peppers, onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt, the outcome is simply to die for. Roll this in some crushed pecans or walnuts, place some crackers around the side, and your friends and family will simply love it. As a matter of fact, it got to the point where I make this up every Christmas or special occasion.
As always, you can alter the ingredients according to your liking. For example, a few drops of tabasco sauce, just for some heat, would not be out of place. In my opinion, pepper does not seem to fit the bill but it's entirely up to you. I like the fresh pecans, but you can use walnuts or even peanuts for that matter.
There are, however, a few simple suggestions to make the recipe easier to execute. In example, ensure that the cream cheese is it room temperature. That way, the dish is much easier to put together. Also make sure that the pineapple is well drained. I always use crushed pineapple in the can, but you could use pineapple tidbits or even whole pineapple rings and cut them up. It's simply a matter of personal preference.
Watch the video, give our pineapple cheese ball at try and, as always, let us know what you think.

CRANBERRY AND PECAN CHEESEBALL RECIPE
Ingredients
1/2 Cup / 50g Pecans
9 oz / 250g Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup / 60g Sour Cream
1 Cup / 85g Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Cup / 120g Dried Cranberries
2 Tbsp Chives chopped
Instructions
Roughly chop the pecans. We want smaller and larger pieces to create texture. Place onto a baking sheet and toast in a 200C / 400F oven for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
In a medium sized mixing bowl add the cream cheese. Mix with a wooden spoon for a minute or two to soften. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Fold together until combined. Set the bowl to the side.
Add the cranberries to the bowl with the pecans and toss together. Pour half of the mixture into the bowl with the cheese and save the rest for later. Fold together until combined.
Pour the cheeseball mixture out onto a length of plastic wrap or cooking paper. Bring up the sides to tightly wrap the mixture and shape into a ball. Place into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Remove the cheeseball from the fridge and press into the correct shape. Pour the remaining cranberry and pecan mixture onto a plate and add the chives. Unwrap the cheeseball and roll around on the plate, pressing the coating in.
Serve now or keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Notes
If you are tight on time, toasting the pecans can be skipped.
Walnut or almonds can be used in place of pecans.
The cheeseball can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
