Ingredients
- 6 oz Raspberry-flavored gelatin (Jello mix)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 cups Frozen raspberries
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine.
Step 3
Stir in the frozen raspberries and drained crushed pineapple. The cold from the frozen raspberries will help the gelatin start to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish or decorative serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the gelatin is partially set (it should be thickened but jiggly).
Step 5
Once the jello is partially set, evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top.
Step 6
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.
Step 7
Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 8
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
Step 9
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.
Step 10
Cover and refrigerate for at least an additional 2 hours, or until completely set and chilled through.
Step 11
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
