Tips for the Best Pineapple Cheese Ball Recipe

This recipe is so simple and it is perfect for feeding a crowd. It took me less than 5 minutes to prep this recipe and then I put it in the fridge to chill. Follow these simple tips to make the perfect pineapple cheese ball every time!

Refrigerate – This cheese ball is best if it sits in the fridge overnight before you roll it in the pecans. If you don’t have time to let it sit overnight, try to let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours that way all the flavors have some time to mix. Drain pineapple – Make sure that you drain the pineapple really well, or the cheese ball won’t set up correctly. Nuts – Try it with crushed walnuts for another crunchy flavor! Serving – I served this cheese ball with whole wheat toasted crackers, I think I might try it on some Triscuits, Ritz crackers, or Wheat Thins next time. You could also serve it on sliced baguette bread or veggies. We love sliced carrot sticks too!
