Nutty pineapple cheese bites

Ingredients:
  • For the pineapple cheese
  • 400g goat’s cheese
  • 200g tinned pineapple
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • To coat - 75g pistachios, 75g almonds and 75g pecans, toasted and chopped
Method:
  1. Using clean hands, crush the pineapple into a sieve while straining off the excess juice. You can also pulse the pineapple in a food processor, but make sure to strain it fully first.
  2. Combine the cream cheese, pineapple, maple syrup and salt using a wooden spoon.
  3. Refrigerate for one hour.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the toasted, chopped nuts together in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
  5. Remove the cheese from the fridge and roll it into 12 evenly-sized balls or bites. Roll each ball gently in the chopped nuts and place them onto a lined baking tray until ready to serve.
  6. Cover in cling film and refrigerate until serving.
  7. Best served with skewers as an easy, one-bite canapé.
