Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (Jello)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 cups Frozen raspberries
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Mix in the drained crushed pineapple and frozen raspberries. Stir gently to evenly distribute the fruit.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch dish and scatter 1 cup of mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the Jello to set for about 2 hours or until firm.
While the Jello sets, prepare the creamy topping. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
In another chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended and fluffy.
Once the Jello is set, spread the creamy topping evenly over the surface of the Jello salad.
Optional: Garnish with a few fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of mini marshmallows for an extra festive touch.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice into squares to serve and savor the delicious layers of flavor.
