Ingredients

• 6 oz Orange-flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (or pre-made whipped topping)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add the cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows to the gelatin mixture. Stir to evenly distribute.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. If using pre-made whipped topping, simply measure it out and set aside.

Step 5

In another small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth to remove any lumps. Gently fold the cream cheese into the whipped cream (or whipped topping) until fully combined.

Step 6

Carefully fold the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture into the gelatin mixture. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the salad is firm and set.

Step 8

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra whipped cream, a sprinkle of orange zest, or a few mini marshmallows on top for decoration.
