Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry or lime)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple (in juice, not drained)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup red or green seedless grapes (halved)
Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin in the boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes to ensure it is fully dissolved.
Stir in the cold water, followed by the entire can of crushed pineapple (including the juice).
Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, sour cream, whipped topping, chopped walnuts (if using), and halved grapes. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a similarly sized serving bowl, spreading it evenly.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is firm and the salad is thoroughly chilled.
Serve cold. Cut into squares if using a rectangular dish, or use a spoon to serve from a bowl.
