Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 12 oz corned beef
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cup cold water
- 0.25 cup hot water
- 1 tbsp horseradish
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 package assorted crackers or bread
Instructions
Bring the cream cheese to room temperature to make it easier to mix.
Finely chop the corned beef into small pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 2 minutes.
Pour the hot water over the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, horseradish, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Fold the chopped corned beef into the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Slowly stir in the dissolved gelatin mixture until fully incorporated.
Lightly grease a decorative gelatin mold or any serving dish of your choice with non-stick spray.
Pour the corned beef mixture into the prepared mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
To unmold, run a thin, warm knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the spread. Gently invert onto a serving platter.
Serve chilled with an assortment of crackers or slices of bread.
