How to Make Green Stuff Lime Jello Pears Cream Cheese Cool Whip

In a large bowl, dissolve 3 oz (85g) lime Jell-O according to package directions using 1 cup (240ml) boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Set the Jell-O aside to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz (227g) cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add 2 cups (475g) of canned pears, drained and roughly chopped, to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the cooled lime Jell-O until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
Add 8 oz (227g) Cool Whip and mix on low speed for 2 minutes, or until just combined.
Pour the mixture into a festive bowl or trifle dish. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
Before serving, you can decorate with additional Cool Whip, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of lime zest, if desired.
