Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Raspberry-flavored gelatin (Jello mix)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 cups Frozen raspberries
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine.
Stir in the frozen raspberries and drained crushed pineapple. The cold from the frozen raspberries will help the gelatin start to thicken slightly.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish or decorative serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the gelatin is partially set (it should be thickened but jiggly).
Once the jello is partially set, evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.
Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least an additional 2 hours, or until completely set and chilled through.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
