Jello Mold - 2Jello desserts are great any time, but I love them that much more during the summer months.

Then again, whipping up a jello dessert mixed with cream cheese and fruit, how can you beat that?

The recipe I am about to share with you is also very quick and simple to prepare, and it makes a very refreshing dessert for your family barbecue, or a dish to pass at a neighborhood get together.  I made this jello mold for numerous occasions, and I never had to worry about storing any leftovers…..it’s yummy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 boxes  (3 oz each) of Strawberry Jello
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 large box frozen strawberries (12-16 oz)
  • 2 cups crushed pineapple , drained ( 2 – 20 oz. cans)
  • 1 small sour cream ( 8oz)
  • 1 package cream cheese ( 8oz)

Directions:

  1. Dissolve jello in hot water.
  2. Drain the strawberries, and mix into jello.
  3. Cool until partially set (the frozen strawberries will cool the jello very quickly).
  4. Mix in the crushed pineapple.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese with the sour cream, to a smooth paste.
  6. Add to the jello mixture, fold in well.
  7. Place in a serving bowl.
  8. Cover.
  9. Refrigerate until well set (couple of hours or overnight).

Enjoy!

    This is a great recipe! I may try to put a border of whipped cream along the edge to enhance the color and flavor.

    The whipped cream edge would look nice, but whipped cream does not hold very well for too long, so it might make it messy looking, once it starts to melt down. I would suggest to offer whipped cream on the side if anyone wanted to add some on the top of their own serving.

    Just came across your post today, I had never thought of putting cream cheese with Jello. It looks so easy! And I definitely like the idea of no leftovers… this is often the case with desserts!
