Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) Lime Jell-O gelatin mix
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lime Jell-O gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes but do not let it set completely.
In a separate medium bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Drain the can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice. Gradually mix the reserved pineapple juice into the cream cheese to create a smooth mixture.
Combine the cream cheese mixture with the slightly cooled Jell-O mixture, whisking until completely blended.
Fold in the crushed pineapple and Cool Whip gently until the mixture is evenly combined. If desired, stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, trifle dish, or individual serving cups.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Garnish with additional Cool Whip and nuts, if desired, before serving.
