Notes
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 1 hour to soften. This will make it easier to whip, and the texture will be smoother and without lumps.
- Drain the excess liquid from the pineapple. If you don’t do this, the mixture will be watery and it will be hard to form the balls.
- Use fine desiccated coconut. Make sure it’s unsweetened. If you can’t find it, you can use finely shredded coconut. Keep in mind that desiccated coconut is the best option for this recipe.
- How to store Pineapple Christmas Balls? Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
