This was born when I really needed a sweet fix but couldn't spare the fat grams. I remembered another recipe I enjoyed in the past (and which is in my recipe collection here) where I liked the combination of mint and pineapple together. So, I got the food processor out and experimented a bit. I was pretty happy with the results. The cooking time doesn't include the chill time. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves |
3/4 cup pineapple chunk |
3/4 cup fat free cream cheese |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons splenda granular, sugar substitute (could use real sugar too) |
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Put the mint and pineapple into a food processor or blender and blitz until well combined and the pineapple is nearly pulsed but still has a bit of chunk to it.
2. Add in the cream cheese and the lime juice and give it another couple seconds of blitzing until everything is well combined.
3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the mayo and splenda (or sugar).
4. Put in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
5. Serve with crackers or whatever else you feel would go with the mixture.
