It’s the perfect party appetizer for crackers, celery, and apples. Your guests will love it and will be amazed it contains no cheese. Shhh. Our secret.
This is a successful day because I finally made a cheese ball that is, well, cheeseless, and oh how mah-velous it was, darling!
My friend Jayne and her family recently gave up dairy and since then, she’s been experimenting with so many different recipes so they can still enjoy the same cheesy goodness without feeling “deprived” of all the wonderful cheese dishes out there.

When I went to Jayne’s house the other day, she had finished making this pineapple and nut “cheese” ball recipe and guess who got to be her guinea pig (outside her family)? You got it, little ole special me! I was more than happy to indulge. In fact, she even let me try it with her homemade Wheat Thins (which I will be showcasing in another post–heaven!). I LOVED it.
This cheeseless pineapple and nut vegan “cheese” ball recipe was Jayne’s favorite and I would agree (although I haven’t tasted her others–yet!–I’m dying to try her cranberry one!). It was so yummy (notice I said “was”. It was devoured within minutes. Well, maybe not that fast, but it was devoured.).
I must add, that Jayne rolled her cheese ball in sliced almonds, but I didn’t have sliced almonds on hand, so I experimented and rolled mine in chopped pine nuts and pistachios. I will add it was mah-velous, darling!
If you make this recipe, let me know by leaving a comment and rating the recipe. Better yet, take a picture of your creation and tag it #bakerettedotcom on Instagram! I’d love to see what you’ve come up with!
