Make sure you really get all the juice out of the crushed pineapple if not it's becomes soupy and won't hold up...but if that happens just add some more cream cheese till the liquid is gone!
When I make this for a wedding I will triple the recipe then shape the dip into a pineapple shape. I take whole almonds and cover it in rows... Since I'm doing a wedding I usually have fresh pineapple so I cut the top off and cut into half so it can lay flat... Then just line club crackers around or leave it as is!
I do this often and have used whole almonds, pecans but I think I like the sliced almonds best!
Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip
2 pkg of soften cream cheese
1 can of crushed pineapples drained well
¼ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup green pepper (optional)
In a bowl mix with mixer, pineapples with cream cheese then add green onion and green pepper.
Let this set in the fridge for at least 4 hours or over night! Keeps well in fridge for about 2 weeks!
You can serve as is in a bowl or you can make a cheese ball by shaping
into a ball in saran wrap and place in fridge for an hour then roll into
pecans or sliced almonds.
Or you can shape dip in the shape of a Pineapple then outline with
Almonds and the top of a pineapple for decoration. Use a top of a
pinapple to top it!
Serve with crackers...club crackers go very well with this!
