Ingredients

• 1 packet (3 oz) Lime Jell-O gelatin
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple, drained
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Cool Whip whipped topping
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium heatproof bowl, dissolve the lime Jell-O packet in 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the gelatin granules are fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to room temperature.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk.

Step 4

Stir the drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese, mixing completely.

Step 5

Gradually pour the cooled Jell-O mixture into the cream cheese and pineapple mixture. Blend until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip whipped topping gently until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to retain the airy texture.

Step 7

If desired, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or a mold. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve chilled, either sliced into squares or scooped into bowls. Garnish with additional whipped topping or pecans if desired.
