Very Nearly Fat Free Creamy Pineapple & Mint Cracker Spread

Recipe #296544 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sarah_Jayne

This was born when I really needed a sweet fix but couldn't spare the fat grams. I remembered another recipe I enjoyed in the past (and which is in my recipe collection here) where I liked the combination of mint and pineapple together. So, I got the food processor out and experimented a bit. I was pretty happy with the results. The cooking time doesn't include the chill time.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 3/4 cup pineapple chunk
  • 3/4 cup fat free cream cheese

  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Put the mint and pineapple into a food processor or blender and blitz until well combined and the pineapple is nearly pulsed but still has a bit of chunk to it.
    2. 2
      Add in the cream cheese and the lime juice and give it another couple seconds of blitzing until everything is well combined.
    3. 3
      Transfer to a bowl and stir in the mayo and splenda (or sugar).
    4. 4
      Put in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
    5. 5
      Serve with crackers or whatever else you feel would go with the mixture.
