Aunt Annie's Cheese Ball

Recipe #273147 | 16 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 20 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MsSally

I'm asked to bring this to every family function. This is my great aunt's recipe and when she could no longer make it, I took over. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese for this, but it will not get hard and form a ball. If you make it with low-fat ingredients, place the mixture in a bowl or decorative crock and top with crushed pecans. Cook time does not include chill time.

    Excellent Cheeseball! I made this a day in advance and rolled it in the Pecans on the day I served it. I grated the onion and squeezed all of the juice out of them and I drained the pineapple very, very well. The texture was perfect! Made for Newest Zaar Tag - Thanks Ms Sally... I'll be making this again!

    A unique twist on your regular cheese ball! I took this to a party last night and it was all gone. People raved about it and wanted the recipe. The pineapple is such a nice and tasty addition. I will definitely make again.

    I loved this. It was easy as pie to make, and everyone gobbled it up! The pineapple really makes this a unique spread. Thanks!
