Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 6 ounces lime JELL-O
- 2 cups boiling water
Cream Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Add-ins
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained and patted dry
- Cherries, as desired (approximately 1 cup)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- Mini marshmallows, about 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare gelatin: Place the lime JELL-O and boiling water in a large bowl. Whisk until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix cream cheese with gelatin: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Gradually blend in the prepared JELL-O mixture with the cream cheese until fully combined. Chill the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour to let it set slightly.
- Add fruits and marshmallows: Remove the chilled gelatin-cream cheese mixture from the refrigerator. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, cherries, thawed Cool Whip, and mini marshmallows until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Chill to set: Spread the combined mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess liquid making the salad runny.
- Use cherries according to your taste; maraschino cherries work well for garnish and sweetness.
- You can add extra mini marshmallows if you prefer a sweeter, more textured salad.
- Allow sufficient chilling time to let the gelatin set properly for best texture.
- This salad is best served chilled and stored in the refrigerator.
