How to Make Linda's Lime Jello Salad

  1. In a 9x13 inch Pyrex dish, pour one (3 ounce) package of lime-flavored gelatin.
  2. Gradually add 3 cups of boiling water to the gelatin. Stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. While the gelatin is still hot, gently stir in 1 (10 ounce) package of mini marshmallows and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, cut into small pieces.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the gelatin begins to set.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Drain one (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
  7. Remove the chilled Jello salad from the refrigerator. Gently fold in the drained pineapple, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, and the whipped cream until everything is well combined.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 3-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to fully set.
