Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 cups 7 Up soda
- 6 oz Lime gelatin powder (or lemon-lime gelatin)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2 cups Miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip, thawed)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the crushed pineapple along with its juice and the 7 Up soda. Heat over medium heat until the liquid just starts to simmer. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the lime gelatin powder, stirring until completely dissolved.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Slowly pour the warm pineapple and gelatin mixture into the cream cheese while continuously mixing to ensure a smooth consistency. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, gently fold in the miniature marshmallows and whipped topping until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a large serving dish or a 9x13-inch pan, spreading it evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the salad is fully set and firm.
Serve chilled, scooping portions onto plates or slicing into squares. Enjoy!
