Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 20-ounce can Crushed pineapple, very well drained
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Optional Addition
  • 1 cup Finely chopped pecans

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in the very well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir in the finely chopped pecans if using.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, pretzels, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Drain the pineapple extremely well because excess juice can make the dip thin. Soften the cream cheese before mixing to prevent lumps. For a lighter, fluffier variation, fold in 1 cup of whipped topping, although the traditional cream-cheese version does not require it.
