Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) lime-flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, approximately 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Drain the juice from the can of crushed pineapple into a small saucepan, setting the pineapple chunks aside. Heat the juice gently over low heat, then add the cream cheese to the pan. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the gelatin and stir until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the gelatin mixture until fully incorporated.
Stir in the reserved crushed pineapple and miniature marshmallows.
Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or mold, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream or pineapple slices as desired. Enjoy your light and fluffy Sea Foam Salad!
