Ingredients for Cloud Nine

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 2 cups crushed pineapple (from a 20-ounce can, well-drained)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice

How to Make Cloud Nine

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of pineapple juice, beating until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Add 2 cups of crushed pineapple (from a 20-ounce can, well-drained). Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
