Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Orange-flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
In a medium heatproof mixing bowl, pour the orange gelatin powder.
Add boiling water to the gelatin and stir until the powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the cold water to slightly cool the mixture.
Gradually whisk in the buttermilk until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light and airy texture.
Lightly grease a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan with nonstick spray or a thin layer of oil.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface if needed.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
To unmold, dip the mold briefly into warm (not hot) water to loosen the sides, then invert onto a serving plate.
Slice and serve chilled as a side dish or dessert.
