How to Make Orange Delight

  1. In a medium bowl, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 3 oz orange-flavored gelatin and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  2. Stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Set aside the jello mixture to cool slightly, until it reaches a consistency similar to honey.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in the cooled jello mixture, 1 cup drained crushed pineapple, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Pour the mixture into a 6-cup mold or individual serving dishes.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
