Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Peach-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 15 oz Canned peach slices
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Whipped topping
Instructions
Dissolve the 3 oz peach-flavored gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Drain the canned peaches, reserving the syrup. Cut the peach slices into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Measure out 1/4 cup of the reserved peach syrup and mix it into the gelatin mixture.
Stir in 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg into the gelatin mixture for a hint of warm spice.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a 9x9-inch dish or preferred serving container. Evenly sprinkle the peach slices on top of the gelatin mix. Lightly press them down into the mixture to ensure they are distributed evenly.
Chill the dish in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
In a small mixing bowl, beat 4 oz of softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
Once the gelatin has set, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top as a creamy frosting layer.
Optionally, garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or a few extra peach slices before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Spiced Peach Jello Salad!
