Notes
- Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Lime Jello: You can use 1 large 6 oz box or, in my case, 2 smaller 3 oz boxes if that is all your store has.
- Cream Cheese: Spreadable/whipped cream cheese won’t solidify like the block will, so be sure and use a block.
- Crushed Pineapple: It is easiest to use the canned version. Be sure and retain the liquid in the can
- Don’t drain the pineapple juice! The juice is accounted for in the recipe.
- If you have a pan that comes with a lid, use it! This is an excellent make-ahead recipe (and in fact, it must be made ahead to give it time to set) but a nice fitting lid will keep it fresh until you’re ready to enjoy it. It can be tricky to make sure plastic wrap fully covers your mold.
