Instructions
Get Prepped
- Soften the cream cheese, drain the pineapple, chop the green onions, dice the ham.
Mix
- In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, drained pineapple, powdered sugar, chopped green onions and dice ham.
Shape
- Shape the mixture into a ball. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap and scoop the mixture in. Close the plastic wrap around the mixture and shape into a ball.
Chill
- Chill until firm, then roll in crushed pecans.
- Return to the fridge and store until you want to serve.
- Devour.
Notes
- Don’t worry about getting the perfect shape, you can roll it more later when it is chilled.
- You can use a stand mixer to mix this, but I generally just use a large mixing bowl.
- Remove from the refrigerator about 10 to 15 minutes before you want to serve so it is softened and scoopable.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Add a little garlic powder or ranch dressing mix for some added flavor!
- Check the flavor – you may wish to add a pinch of salt.
- You may like to add blue cheese, or sharp cheddar cheese (I use pre-shredded cheeses to keep this super fast)
