Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 c softened butter (no substitutes)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 c confectioners' sugar
3/4 c crushed pineapple, well drained
toasted coconut
graham crackers

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter & vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beat until just combined. Stir in pineapple.
  • 2. Cover and refrigerate two hours.
  • 3. Place cream cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap and shape into a ball
  • 4. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • 5. If you choose, just before serving, roll cheese ball in toasted coconut. Serve with graham crackers.
  • 6. I usually put it in a dip bowl & just top with coconut since it can be kind of soft to make into a ball
  • 7. You can also take the basic recipe (recipe minus pineapple & coconut***use only 3/4 c powdered sugar since there isn't juice from the pineapple) & make it your own with toffee chips, caramel bits, PB chips, White Chocolate, etc just make sure they are small pieces.
