My friend Gigi mentioned on her blog that my "famous" pineapple dip was one of her favorite snacks. I figured I better post the recipe, so I can share the love with others!
Just a little background on this lovely snack. When I was expecting my first child, we were visiting my husband's brother's family in Alabama for New Year's. We got there a bit later in the evening on New Year's Eve, and they had had some friends over earlier with lots of yummy snacks and food. Of course we dug in to the leftovers when we arrived, and one of them was this scrumptious dip. The recipe originally has you shape it into a ball like a cheese ball, but who really wants to go to that much work? So we just mix it up and eat it. Anyway, I couldn't stop eating this stuff, and craved it all week-end. I have only made this once or twice, but I know Gigi has made it tons! Enjoy!
Pineapple Dip
2 pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4-1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 pkg. chopped dates*
1 large can crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together well. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with Wheat Thins, or whatever else sounds good!
* I found a container of chopped dates, so I just threw some in till it looked like a good amount to me. Of course you can adjust it to add more or less depending on your preference!
Gigi, if you have any notes on how you make it, feel free to comment!
