Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) Lime gelatin (Jello)
- 1 cup (boiling) Water
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
Instructions
In a medium heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the lime gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes, and let it cool slightly.
While the gelatin cools, beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the slightly cooled lime gelatin to the cream cheese, beating continuously to ensure a smooth mixture.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
Next, fold in the whipped topping, using a spatula to gently combine it into the mixture. This will create a light, fluffy texture.
Transfer the mixture into a decorative serving bowl or individual serving dishes. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this nostalgic, creamy dessert salad!
