This little pineapple cream cheese dip is the sort of thing that shows up on every church buffet table around here, right between the deviled eggs and the ham salad. It’s only three ingredients, comes together in minutes, and somehow disappears even faster. I first carried a glass bowl of this to a summer church luncheon, and the ladies lined up afterward wanting to know what on earth I’d done to make it so addictive. The secret is that it’s an old-fashioned, Southern-style combination of tangy cream cheese and sweet crushed pineapple, whipped until it’s silky and spoonable. It tastes like the kind of simple, practical recipe our mothers and grandmothers relied on when they needed something special in a hurry.
Serve this pineapple cream cheese dip well-chilled in a clear glass bowl so the creamy, pale filling and golden bits of pineapple can shine through. Surround
