Orange-Pineapple Delight image

I was just tickled with this recipe. Many years ago I had a similar recipe that used fresh strawberries and strawberry jello; it was very pretty and very tasty and I was sad when I lost my copy. But I like orange-pineapple even more than strawberries, so this recipe, found in a Jell-O cookbook, is a newfound treasure! Serve as a sweet salad, or a dessert. Perfect for a potluck or bbq.

Time 6h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
cold orange juice, as needed
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (6 ounce) package orange gelatin (or 2 3oz pkgs)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple well, reserving juice.
  • Place pineapple juice in a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough cold orange juice to make 1 1/2 cups liquid.
  • Place orange jello in a large bowl and add boiling water; stir at least 2 minutes or until jello is completely dissolved.
  • Stir pineapple/orange juice into jello.
  • Reserve one cup of the jello mixture; leave this at room temperature.
  • Stir half of the crushed pineapple into jello mixture in bowl; pour into a 6 cup mold that you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (like Pam).
  • Refrigerate mold about two hours, or until set but not firm-- mixture should stick to your finger when touched, and should mound.
  • Place cream cheese into mixing bowl and stir in reserved gelatin (what you've been keeping at room temp); whisk well until smooth.
  • Stir in remaining crushed pineapple; spoon this mixture over gelatin layer in mold.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm; unmold and serve.
