Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Dip
This Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Dip is the perfect appetizer or dessert for cookouts and holiday get togethers! My favorite cream cheese pie filling is topped with sweet pineapple and toasted macadamia nuts. I serve it up with graham crackers for a tasty dip that is always the hit of the party!
Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Dip
It’s that time of year that we all want to get outside and cookout and have all of our friends and family over for great food and fun.
I’m always on the lookout for something new to make for such occasions. So I took one of my all- time favorite desserts, cream cheese pie, and turned it into a sweet appetizer.
How to Make Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Dip:
- It takes about 10 minutes to put this together and it is so delicious. I roughly chopped a few macadamia nuts and threw them in a skillet for about 5 minutes to toast while I made the pie filling.
- The pie filling is simply cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
- I poured that in a pie plate, topped it with crushed pineapple that I drained and the macadamia nuts.
- Pop that in the fridge until you are ready. That’s it. Super easy.
Toasted coconut would also be a great addition to the topping but we have a few coconut haters in our clan so I skipped the coconut this time.
Serve this quick and easy appetizer with graham crackers or vanilla wafers and it will disappear in no time at all.
A sweet appetizer was a new thing for us and one of my kids thought that the macadamia nuts were caramelized onions. He was really surprised when he tasted it thinking that it was onion dip. Crazy kids.
It’s great to make ahead the night before, it keeps really well if you keep it covered in the refrigerator.
I am somewhat of a pineapple fanatic. If you are the same, be sure to check out my easy Pineapple Dump Cake, Lemon Pineapple Poke Cake, Pineapple Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Pineapple Lemonade!
