Black Cherry Jello Salad with Cream Cheese and Pecans image

Black Cherry Jello Salad with Cream Cheese and Pecans is an elegant side dish or dessert with a deep fruity flavour that is so refreshing.

Provided by Christy Faber

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package black cherry jello (or wild cherry or plain cherry )
1 cup boiling water
1 15 oz can Bing cherries (using all the juice and half of the cherries )
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup raw pecans (roughly chopped )

Steps:

  • Drain the can of cherries, reserving the juice into a measuring cup. Add cold water to the juice to make a total of 1 ¼ cups liquid and place in the fridge to chill.
  • Dissolve Jello in 1 cup of boiling water in an attractive serving bowl. Stir until totally dissolved and there are no visual Jello granules remaining.
  • Stir the cold cherry juice/water combination into the warm Jello thoroughly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Chop the pecans finely. Finely chopped pecans will distribute evenly throughout the salad and won't be too crunchy.
  • Use a variety of jello flavors. You can use any flavor of jello you like, but cherry, strawberry, and raspberry are all popular choices.
  • Let the salad chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give the jello time to set and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to your salad.

Conclusion:

Cherry Pecan Jello Salad is a classic dessert that is always a hit with a crowd. It's easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. Whether you're serving it at a potluck, picnic, or holiday gathering, this salad is sure to be a favorite.
