How to Make Jello Fruit Ring

  1. Dissolve 3 oz (85g) Jello (any flavor, but orange or cherry are classic) in 1 cup (240ml) boiling water until completely dissolved.
  2. Add 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, reserving juice, and stir gently to combine.
  3. Pour the Jello mixture into a 6-cup Bundt pan or a similar ring mold.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
  5. While the Jello sets, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz (227g) softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream, and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans.
  7. Once the Jello is fully set, carefully spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the surface.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the topping to set.
  9. Before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the Jello ring.
  10. Invert the mold onto a serving plate and gently remove the pan.
