Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Lime gelatin mix
- 2 cups Hot water
- 2 cups 7 Up soda
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 8 oz Cool Whip (or whipped topping)
Instructions
In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the lime gelatin mix in 2 cups of hot water. Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved.
Stir in 2 cups of cold 7 Up soda. The carbonation will cause the mixture to fizz slightly, so pour it slowly and mix gently.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese while continuing to mix. This helps temper the cream cheese, ensuring it blends smoothly without clumping.
Once combined, pour the cream cheese mixture back into the remaining gelatin mixture. Whisk thoroughly until well incorporated.
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the gelatin mixture to a 9x13-inch dish or preferred serving container. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4-6 hours, or until firmly set.
Once the gelatin has set, spread a thick, even layer of Cool Whip on top as a creamy topping.
Slice into squares or scoop into serving dishes, and enjoy your No Marshmallow 7 Up Salad!
