Pineapple Nilla Dip

Pineapple Nilla Dip - this sweet and refreshing dip calls for only 5 ingredients and 10 minutes of your time. Great for parties!

Food blogging is like fashion – you have to work at least two months ahead of the upcoming season. I was experimenting with Halloween goodies in August, holiday cookies in October, and I started making Valentine’s treats before the New Year. My kids are so confused. 

This dip came about from a no-bake Christmas cookie I was trying. It was pretty bad; taste was less than desirable and the texture was even worse…so I changed the ingredients and ended up with an awesome sweet dip! I also ended up licking the spoon. Sometimes it’s those failures that turn out to be wins.

I love this. And I’ll probably serve it for Super Bowl Sunday along side my Cookie Dough Dip. And perhaps some insulin shots…

    I have made this recipe multiple times. Delish. Add cool whip to mine. Kids like it better that way. Plus goes a lot further as far as portions.

        Did you use crushed pineapple in it’s own juice? or in syrup?

          I’ve used both. Either is delicious. And since it’s squeezed of all liquid, the difference is negligible IMHO.

      Thank you, Melanie! Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to figure out that information for every single recipe, but if there are particular ones of interest to you, there are online calculators that will do that for you by plugging in the ingredients.

          I don’t use them, so I didn’t have a particular one in mind. I just know if you Google for Calorie Calculator, a bunch will come up.

    Growing up, I would sit and devour (slowly) half a box of Nilla Wafers. I love them. Still love them in banana pudding. And I think I would lick the bowl on this dip. YUM. This is one of those just-different-enough dips that you can put out and I think people would go crazy over it.

      When I was a kid, my grandfather was diagnosed with diabetes. My mom immediately put a ban on all hostess ding dongs and most cookies (it was a depressing time, I must say!) But she still allowed Vanilla Wafers in the house. Go figure.
