Share:
Ingredients
- one ounce (798 ml) can pear halves DO NOT DRAIN
- one ounce package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
- one ounce package cream cheese softened, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 cups frozen whipped topping thawed (see notes)
Instructions
- Measure out one cup of pear juice from the canned pears into a large glass measuring cup (make sure it is microwave safe!).
- Heat the pear juice in the microwave until boiling.
- Carefully sprinkle the lime gelatin over the boiling hot pear juice. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved completely with no granules remaining.
- In a large bowl combine the cream cheese with the heavy cream. Beat until smooth.
- Slowly add in the gelatin mixture, and mix until smooth and blended in completely.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until the mixture is partially thickened, around 40-50 minutes. The time needed for this step depends on how hot your water was.
- Drain the remaining pears in the can and place the pears into a medium sized bowl. Mash the pears with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
- Fold the pears and the whipped topping into the lime gelatin mixture.
- Pour the gelatin into a mold or a large bowl. IF you have extra like I did when putting it into the mold simply put the rest into a small bowl.
- Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for 2-3 hours OR until it's set.
- To unmold the salad, dip the bottom of the mold (which is actually the top when you flip it over, FYI) in warm water for 5 seconds. Invert the onto a large serving plate and serve.
- If you have made it in a bowl, simply scoop it out to serve!
Notes
- The Cool Whip should be an 8-ounce container, which we don't always have in Canada, it's about 3 cups of whipped topping.
- Calories are based on fresh pears, the calories will be more and will depend on the brand of pears that you use and the amount of sugar in the juice etc.
