Directions
Step 1
In a medium heatproof mixing bowl, pour the orange gelatin powder.
Step 2
Add boiling water to the gelatin and stir until the powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the cold water to slightly cool the mixture.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the buttermilk until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Step 5
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light and airy texture.
Step 7
Lightly grease a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan with nonstick spray or a thin layer of oil.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface if needed.
Step 9
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
Step 10
To unmold, dip the mold briefly into warm (not hot) water to loosen the sides, then invert onto a serving plate.
Step 11
Slice and serve chilled as a side dish or dessert.
