Lime jello with cream cheese and pineapple

Original recipe yields 12 servings

1 pkg. (6 oz.) or 2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Extra Creamy Whipped Topping, thawed

assorted fresh or frozen fruit

I've been making this for years. I do not dissolve the jello at all. I use two packs of jello, one can crushed pineapple.. juice drained, 1 to two packs of cream cheese mixed the jello with the cream cheese with a mixer, add in pineapple and some cool whip. some people add coconut and or marshmallows, I usually don't it gets firm as you mix it. adding water is something I do not do I think it delutes it. Just how I do it

Do you have the jello 'gel' before adding it?

What I ended up with was really good! That being said, there were modifications made. First of all, I've never seen a 10-oz. can of pineapple, nor a 5-oz. box of Jell-O! So I decided to use a standard 20-oz can of pineapple and a large box (6 ozs) of Jell-O. I pretty much made it according to Sandy M.'s comment.. just mixed in the dry Jell-O when the pineapple was added. Worked out well. I chilled it in a mold but being a creamy mixture I was concerned that it may not be firm enough to mold but it did though not firm. I will experiment with different flavors and add-ins. I will try to upload my photo of it.

My family doesnt use water or ice with this recipe. We just get 2 cans crushed pineapple, 16 oz container of cool whip, 2 8oz packs of cream cheese, and one 16oz packet of line jello mix.

Following this recipe in addition to my mom's, as my mom never really wrote down specific directions! This is as close a recipe as I could find to hers and I have never made it before. Yes, even at 62!

Combine boiling water and gelatin mix in a large bowl; stir until dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Refrigerate until thickened but not set, about 1 hour.

  • Meanwhile, place crushed pineapple and remaining juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature.

  • Blend softened cream cheese and prepared gelatin until smooth. Mix in cooled pineapple.

  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped nuts. Pour into a pretty glass bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

  • Tips

    Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.
