This lime jello salad is a great recipe my mom made every year for Thanksgiving making it a family tradition for us — we just gobble it up! It can be made a day or two ahead of time if you like. It looks just beautiful in a glass or crystal bowl.
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
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Blend softened cream cheese and prepared gelatin until smooth. Mix in cooled pineapple.
Step 4
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.
