🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 6 oz lemon-flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 cups 7 Up soda
• 20 oz crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip)
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the lemon-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.

2. Pour in the 7 Up soda and mix gently. The mixture might fizz slightly—this is normal.

3. Add the crushed pineapple along with its juice to the bowl, stirring to combine.

4. Add the mini marshmallows into the mixture and stir gently. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

5. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.

6. Gently fold the cream cheese into the gelatin mixture until well incorporated. Some lumps are normal and will dissolve as the salad sets.

7. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a decorative serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

8. After 1 hour, remove the gelatin from the refrigerator and spread the whipped topping (Cool Whip) evenly over the top.

9. Optionally, sprinkle chopped pecans over the whipped topping for added texture and flavor.

10. Cover the salad tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an additional 3 hours or until fully set.

11. Serve chilled as a refreshing party dish or dessert!
