Christmas Jello
Description
This dessert starts with a lime gelatin base set in a glass dish or individual servings. The middle layer combines lemon gelatin with marshmallows melted in hot water, softened cream cheese, Miracle Whip, and crushed pineapple, providing a creamy, slightly tangy contrast to the firm gelatin. The top layer is formed by cherry gelatin that sets firmly over the creamy middle.
The result is a visually appealing, multi-textured dish that balances the sweetness and tartness of the fruit-flavored gelatins with a creamy and fruity center. It is cut into squares for serving, making it suitable for holiday or festive occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) box lime gelatin mix or two 3-ounce boxes
- 1 (6-ounce) box cherry gelatin mix or two 3-ounce boxes
- 1 (3-ounce) box lemon gelatin mix
- 2 cups marshmallows
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 2/3 cup Miracle Whip
- 1 large can pineapple drained, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare lime jello according to package directions. Pour into a 9x13" glass baking dish or individual serving dishes (filling each only 1/3 of the way full) and refrigerate until set.
- Prepare the lemon jello by adding the powdered gelatin to one cup of boiling water and stirring to dissolve. Add marshmallows and stir until they dissolve as well, whisking if necessary. Whisk in the cream cheese and Miracle Whip, breaking up any clumps of cream cheese, until incorporated. Stir in the drained pineapple, then carefully pour over the set lime layer and return the jello to the refrigerate to set.
- Once the middle layer is firm, prepare the cherry jello according to package directions. Carefully pour over the middle layer of jello and return the dish to the refrigerator to set completely. Cut into squares and serve.
