This recipe is wonderful! It’s called
Hawaiian Delight Dip, but we used it
as a spread for crackers. Oh my! What a treat. This is my second recipe from
Luana (you can read my interview of her from my November 3, 7 and 10 posts.)
Not only did my family find this dip delightful,
but I also impressed my writers’ group when I made it for our meeting a couple
weeks ago.
If you missed Luana’s recipe for
Pumpkin Mochi, or any other recipe I’ve posted over the past year and a half,

Hawaiian Delight Dip (or Spread)
1 pkg cream cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple—drained
1 tsp lemon juice
1 - 2 TBSP mayo
(Mix the above well)
Fold in:
½ c chopped dates (or more if you
love dates!)
½ c chopped pecans (or more if you
love pecans!)
½ c shredded coconut

| Hawaiian Delight Dip (Spread) |
I happen to love ALL of the above
ingredients, so I folded in more than ½ c of each—YUM!
Luana likes to add some diced up
mango. I had a mango, but it was still ripening to use for her Mango Bread
recipe, so I didn’t add any. But I bet it’s delicious!
Enjoy, and remember to go to the
recipe page if you want to take a look at any or all of my past recipes! I have
a couple more of Luana’s recipes coming up, so keep checking back.

That's an enticing spread!
ReplyDeleteI can almost taste the pineapple. Which reminds me of our honeymoon to Cancun. We had "real" pineapple, not the canned stuff. Just love the fresh. Mmm, mmm. Now you've got me wondering if it's on sale this week...
ReplyDeleteHope you get a chance to try it, Rahul! Thanks for your support. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooooh, yes, Rhonda! There's nothing like fresh pineapple! I did use canned for this recipe and it was wonderful. I like to eat fresh "straight!" (grin!) Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I'm not a big pineapple fan but I LOVE cream cheese, so I'd def. be interested in trying that dip.
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Jessica! Use less of the pineapple--just enough for the sweet taste. You can always increase the coconut and pecans--yummy!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you try it! :-)
