Ingredients

• 1 packet lime-flavored gelatin mix (3 oz packet)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cup cold water
• 8 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice, canned)
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Stir in 0.5 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture. Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the crushed pineapple, keeping the juice in a separate container. Set aside both the pineapple and the juice.

Step 4

Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl.

Step 5

Gradually add the reserved pineapple juice to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until no lumps remain.

Step 7

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and whipped topping until evenly distributed.

Step 8

If desired, stir in the chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into a 2-quart glass dish or gelatin mold. Spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the salad is fully set.

Step 11

Once set, serve chilled. If using a mold, carefully unmold onto a serving plate before serving.
