Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces lime-flavored gelatin mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1.5 cups cold water
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 0.5 cup marshmallows (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the bowl and stir to combine.
Stir in the can of crushed pineapple along with its juice. Mix well to evenly distribute the pineapple.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the whipped cream to the cream cheese and gently fold together until fully incorporated.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the gelatin mixture and whisk until smooth. Ensure that everything is evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into a 6-cup capacity gelatin mold or bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the Jello is fully set.
Once set, unmold the Jello onto a serving plate by placing the mold in warm water for 10-15 seconds and then inverting it onto the plate.
Garnish with optional marshmallows and lime slices before serving.
