Ingredients
Lemon Pineapple Jell-O
- 2 (3-ounce) boxes lemon gelatin mix (or 1 large box)
- 4 cups water divided
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple drained with juice reserved, crushed
Pineapple Whipped Cream Topping
- juice from the can of crushed pineapple, reserved
- 1 egg large
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 3/4 cup walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 2 cups of water to boiling by microwaving in a large glass bowl for 4-5 minutes. Stir in contents of the Jell-O package until it dissolves. Separate the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple by draining the juice into a small saucepan and setting aside for later.
- Add marshmallows to the hot lemon Jell-O and stir until dissolved, then stir in the crushed pineapple. Stir in 2 additional cups of cold water, and pour into a large rectangular glass dish. Transfer the Jell-O to the fridge and allow to set completely, about 3-4 hours.
- While the Jell-O is setting up in the fridge, prepare the pineapple whipped cream topping by whisking the beaten egg, flour, and 1/4 cup sugar with the reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan and heating over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed, gradually adding the additional 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla, until whipped cream forms and holds its shape when beaters are removed.
- Fold the cooled pineapple juice mixture into the whipped cream until combined, then spread over the completely set Jell-O. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and refrigerate until ready to serve.
