Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup softened butter (no substitutes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • - toasted coconut
  • - graham crackers

How To Make hawaiian cheesecake cheeseball

  • Step 1
    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter & vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beat until just combined. Stir in pineapple.
  • Step 2
    Cover and refrigerate two hours.
  • Step 3
    Place cream cheese mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap and shape into a ball
  • Step 4
    Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Step 5
    If you choose, just before serving, roll cheese ball in toasted coconut. Serve with graham crackers.
  • Step 6
    I usually put it in a dip bowl & just top with coconut since it can be kind of soft to make into a ball
  • Step 7
    You can also take the basic recipe (recipe minus pineapple & coconut***use only 3/4 c powdered sugar since there isn't juice from the pineapple) & make it your own with toffee chips, caramel bits, PB chips, White Chocolate, etc just make sure they are small pieces.
