Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces lime gelatin (Jell-O)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 15-ounce can crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Dissolve the lime gelatin in the boiling water, stirring for about 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
Add the cold water and stir to combine.
Drain the juice from the can of crushed pineapple into the gelatin mixture and mix well. Reserve the pineapple for later use.
Allow the gelatin to cool slightly for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream to the cream cheese and continue to beat until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the slightly cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to avoid lumps.
Fold in the reserved crushed pineapple and chopped pecans (if using) with a spatula.
Pour the mixture into a greased or non-stick Jell-O mold or an 8x8-inch glass dish.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Before serving, remove the mold by dipping the bottom of the mold briefly into warm water to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving plate.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
