How to Make Fruit Cocktail Dessert
- In a medium bowl, combine the lemon gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir until dissolved.
- Add the 1/2 cup of fruit cocktail juice and stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the cream cheese, mixing until completely incorporated.
- Let the mixture begin to set slightly (about 10-15 minutes) until it starts to thicken.
- Gently fold in the drained fruit cocktail and Dream Whip until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, 8x8 inch dish or similar.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
