A smooth cream cheese spread made with crushed pineapple, cream cheese and finely chopped nuts. Use as a spread or topping for bagels or muffins.
Who needs another dip recipe? I have another one for you in which I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I wondered about the crushed pineapple in this recipe, and as it turned out the sweet/sour tang of the crushed pineapple offsets the cream cheese well.
You will be amazed at what you can use this versatile cream cheese spread for. Start with something traditional like bagels or muffins and then try it on a quick bread, pancakes, waffles, scones, or French toast.
You could use it as a fruit dip too. Start with slices of apple and let yourself get creative on a fruit platter selection. You can also try it spread on crackers or toast.
Since this dip has little color on its’ own, use a colorful tablecloth or kitchen towel underneath it to bring some color around the food or platter. Use a color that compliments or contrasts your kitchen decor.
