I’ve actually had this one before! Several times as a kid at potlucks and at home! It’s a great Summer dessert, easy to do even if we cheated. Instead of using heavy cream and beating it, the recipe we had used Cool Whip! Yum! Hope you like it!
Lime Gelatin Salad
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Additional Time: 5 hrs
Total Time: 5 hrs 25 mins
Servings: 10
Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water
1 (6 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Gather the ingredients.
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 cream into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped nuts. Pour into a pretty glass bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Recipe Tip:
Chopped walnuts can be used instead of chopped pecans.
