Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1 C. Coconut (can use less or none at all)
1 small pkg. Vanilla instant pudding (dry)
1 small can mandarin oranges
1 small jar maraschino cherries
1 small can crushed pineapples
Chopped toasted pecans
Recipe
Drain fruit very well! Chop oranges and cherries fine. Mix all ingredients and form into a ball. Roll in chopped pecans. Refrigerate. Makes 2 cheese balls.
**I just leave out the coconut all together. Also, I have never sucessfully formed this into a ball, I just mix it up and put in a dip bowl and serve with town house crackers!
**if you want to make it into a ball, make sure you also drain the mandarin oranges after you chop them. If you want to serve it as a dip in a bowl, then drain the oranges, chop them and add them in without draining them again. I did mine in a bowl and then topped it with the chopped pecans to serve.
