In a blender or food processor, blend the drained pears and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Pour the pear and cream cheese mixture into the slightly cooled gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the Cool Whip gently, ensuring the mixture is evenly fluffy and incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual dessert cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your beautiful Green Stuff dessert!
