How to Make Three Layer Orange Jello Salad
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of water with the orange gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Gently stir in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Pour the jello mixture into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and thawed Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the set jello layer.
- Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese layer to set slightly.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, eggs, lemon juice, and 1 cup pineapple juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Spread the cooled pineapple topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow all layers to set completely and flavors to meld.
