  • So, grate the cheese and the prepared crab meat on a fine grater. Mix them together well. Wet your hands with water and shape the mixture into balls about the size of a Raffaello candy. Roll each ball in colored shredded coconut and put them in the fridge to firm up properly. Arrange pineapple rings on a wide, flat platter. Top each ring with the cheese-and-crab balls. Just before serving, place a little red caviar on each ball. For convenience, you can spear them with a skewer. If a bit of garlic doesn't scare you off, try adding some minced garlic to the cheese mixture too. Even though we'll be washing this appetizer down with champagne, garlic actually works well here — give it a try.
