You may think the popularity of the cheese ball has come and gone but I’m here to tell you it hasn’t. I may be a fan of the fancier cream cheese appetizers like this sweet onion crack dip, but I can inhale a cheese ball like nobody’s business and I don’t care who sees me do it.

If you think a cheese ball beneath you and your party, you may want to reconsider, especially when you taste this pineapple cream cheese ball, a recipe from my good friend Evonne. It is my new favorite appetizer and not just because Lauren can make it (i.e., it’s super simple). The combination of cream cheese, green onions and crushed pineapple are heavenly. Pair it with some buttery Ritz crackers and you’ve got a party in a cheese ball.

Author: Emily ~ isthisREALLYmylife.com
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
  • 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 4 to 5 green onions, chopped (or more to taste)
  • 4 to 5 green onions, chopped (or more to taste)
  • 1 (8-oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 (8-oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup grated medium cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated medium cheddar cheese
  • Dash garlic salt
  • Dash garlic salt
  • Sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
  1. Beat cream cheese and milk together.
  2. Add green onions, crushed pineapple (drained), cheese and garlic salt and beat until thoroughly combined.
  3. Shape into a ball and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Cover cheese ball with sliced almonds just before serving. (I gently pressed them on using my hands.)
Notes
I used low-fat cream cheese which makes the cheese ball a bit softer and nearly impossible to form into a ball by hand. We simply "sculpted" it into a ball on the serving plate and then gently pressed on the sliced almonds.

    I think I need to try that other crack dip, because we all know I can inhale a good thing by myself.
