Prep the cream cheese
Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat it until smooth and fluffy. This smooths out any lumps and guarantees a creamy, uniform consistency.

Combine the dry and wet ingredients
Add to the bowl:

• The well-drained crushed pineapple

• 1 cup of the desiccated coconut

• The graham crumbs

• The pineapple Jell‑O powder (no need to dissolve—just sprinkle it in)
  Use the mixer (low to medium speed) or a sturdy spatula to blend everything until evenly combined and smooth.

Chill the mixture
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about one hour. Chilling helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.

Portion and roll into balls
Once chilled, use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form a ball.

Coat with coconut
Roll each ball in the remaining desiccated coconut until fully coated. The coconut gives them a snowy, festive look.

Store chilled
Place the finished Pineapple Christmas Balls into a food-safe container or airtight box. Keep them refrigerated until serving. They’re best enjoyed cold.
