My first taste of this was at a covered dish. Ohhh, how I remember that surprisingly delicious taste! I am thankful that the lady shared her recipe with me. It has become a family favorite. Whenever I carry it to a covered dish everyone asks for this recipe. Sometimes I use it as a gelatin salad and other times, as a desert. It is great served with angel food cake. I hope you try this quick easy dish and enjoy it.

Time 3h4m

Yield 1 bowl gelatin salad, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 ounce) package knox unflavored gelatin
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
cherries, with if desired (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm the pineapple, cream cheese, and Splenda or sugar until smooth. Stir gently. This does not take long.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a small dish, add the water. Then add the unflavored gelatin to it. Allow a few seconds for it to dissolve.
  • Add Knox and water mixture to the pineapple mixture. Stir well to blend.
  • Pour pineapple mixture in a pretty glass bowl. Gently place a few cherries on top, if desired.
  • Place in refrigerator to set. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Note: The 3 hours is your cook tiime. Also note that the small package of Knox unflavored gelatin wasn't labeled with number of ounces. Since I had removed them from the box, I guess at the number of ounces.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out too runny.

This salad is a bit too rich for my taste. I might try using low-fat cream cheese next time.

I love the addition of walnuts in this salad. They add a nice crunch and nutty flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. It's also a good make-ahead salad, which is perfect for busy weeknights.

I've tried many pineapple cream cheese salad recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the whipped cream cheese.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I really enjoyed this salad. The cream cheese and walnuts helped to balance out the sweetness of the pineapple.

I followed the recipe exactly but my salad didn't turn out as creamy as I expected.

The salad was good, but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This pineapple cream cheese salad was a hit at my summer potluck! Everyone loved the creamy, tangy, and sweet flavor combination, and the presentation was beautiful with the pineapple slices arranged on top.
