Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.25 cup Green bell pepper, minced
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- as needed Plastic wrap
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and drained crushed pineapple. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Add the minced green bell pepper, finely chopped green onions, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log approximately 6–8 inches long, using your hands or the help of plastic wrap.
Spread the chopped pecans or walnuts evenly onto a flat surface or a large plate. Roll each cheese log in the chopped nuts, pressing gently to ensure the nuts adhere evenly to the surface.
Wrap each cheese log tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the logs to firm up.
Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and place the cheese logs on a serving platter. Slice into rounds or serve with crackers for dipping.
