For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Thoroughly draining the crushed pineapple is essential to prevent a soggy cheese ball. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, instead of pecans. Add a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor. Consider using a variety of crackers for serving.

Jan 8, 2025The cheese ball was delicious, but I found it a bit too sweet. Next time, I will reduce the amount of pineapple.

Apr 10, 2024A great recipe! My only change was to use walnuts instead of pecans because of allergies, and it was still fantastic.
