How to Make Snow White Salad

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups crushed pineapple (from a 20 ounce can), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Gently stir in 10 ounces of marshmallow cream until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the warm pineapple mixture to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until smooth and well incorporated.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  8. Prepare 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping according to package directions.
  9. Gently fold the whipped topping into the chilled pineapple mixture until just combined.
  10. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the salad to set completely.
  12. Before serving, decorate with halved red and green candied cherries to resemble holly berries and leaves.
