How to Make Green Jello

  1. Prepare the gelatin according to the package directions. Use 3 (3 ounce) packages of lime-flavored gelatin.
  2. Allow the gelatin to set until it reaches a syrupy consistency. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, drained, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  4. Beat the cream cheese and whipped cream with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the drained pineapple and nuts (if using).
  5. Gradually add the syrupy gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch mold or individual serving dishes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
  8. To serve, carefully run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the mold to loosen the jello.
  9. Invert the mold onto a serving plate. Cut into squares or desired shapes and enjoy!
