- 3. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the pineapple and the juice, cranberry sauce and walnuts. Stir with metal spoon until all ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
- 4. About 1 hour before serving, invert the mold onto a serving platter with a bed of curly leaf lettuce and allow to sit at room temperature. The salad in the mold will release itself and come clean from the mold.
- 5. Topping: Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipped cream and walnuts in a bowl. Spoon the mixture into the center of the mold and serve!
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries and pineapple. This will give your gelatin mold the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter mold, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet mold, reduce the amount of sugar.
- Be careful not to overcook the gelatin. Overcooked gelatin will be tough and rubbery.
- Let the gelatin mold chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give it time to set properly.
