Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz) package orange Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the orange Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1 cup cold water. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined.
- Stir the undrained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cooled Jell-O into a 9x13-inch dish. Gently spoon the cream cheese mixture over the Jell-O; do not stir. If desired, sprinkle chopped cherries on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Serve chilled.
Tips
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free Jell-O and reduced-fat cream cheese.
- This salad can be made a day ahead; cover and refrigerate until serving.
- Garnish with additional whipped topping and orange slices if desired.
