Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Powdered garlic
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 0 Optional: crackers or fresh vegetables for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, drained crushed pineapple, green onions, powdered garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Using a spatula or hand mixer, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Prepare a clean sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into a ball (or desired shape) by folding up the edges of the plastic wrap and using your hands to gently mold it.
Step 5
Once the cheese ball is formed, place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to firm up.
Step 6
Spread the chopped pecans on a wide plate or shallow dish. Once the cheese ball is firm, unwrap it and gently roll it in the chopped pecans, pressing lightly to ensure the nuts stick evenly to the surface.
Step 7
Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter and serve with crackers, fresh vegetables, or your favorite accompaniments.
