Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make mixing easier.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
Drain the canned crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess juice. Add the pineapple to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.
Cover the dip with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the dip to firm up slightly.
Serve chilled with crackers, breadsticks, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
