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 or walnuts

Direction

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  5. Fold whipped cream into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped nuts. Pour into a pretty glass bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
