PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE JELLO MOLD



Pineapple Cream Cheese Jello Mold image

My mother made this every holiday. I think the original is supposed to be layered. I am not sure. I just mix it all together and let things fall as they may. She didn't have a food processor, so I don't think this is, exactly, her recipe. It is what I do these days.

Yield 1 Mold

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (3 ounce) boxes Jello gelatin, lime (or lemon or equivalent even sugar free)
8 ounces cream cheese
20 ounces crushed pineapple, drain liquid and set aside

Steps:

  • To make the cream cheese mixture, be sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and will help to create a smooth filling.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the pineapple by hand. Simply place the pineapple in a bowl and use a fork or potato masher to crush it until it is the desired consistency.
