    Fruit Dip or Fruity Cheese Ball

    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.
