How to Make Apricot Gelatin Salad
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the apricot gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Drain one (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
- Add the drained pineapple to the dissolved gelatin.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and reserved pineapple juice together until smooth and creamy.
- Gently stir the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken and set slightly (about 30-45 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent the gelatin from setting completely.
- Gently stir in the chopped apricots and walnuts.
- Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the salad is completely firm.
