Need a lime jello recipe
#62
I can't believe that this isn't already up- This is my family's recipe, and it is soooo easy and fabulous- you never need to mess with cooling or jelling, and it can be made a little more dietetic if you use low-fat or non-fat milk and cream cheese:
2 pkg jello (any flavor)
1 can crushed pineapple in own juice- do not drain.
8 oz cream cheese
i can evaporated milk
pecans or walnuts( optional)
sliced marschino cherries (optional)
Put entire can of pineapple in saucepan and bring to a boil. Add jello, cook until dissolved, stirring constantly. Mix in cream cheese (a hand mixer helps here) until smooth, stir in evaporated milk and nuts and/or cherries if using them. Pour into mold.
My husband likes this so much I occasionally make it between holidays as a dessert!

Frosted Orange Salad
Pineapple, bananas and marshmallows are folded into orange Jell-O in this refreshing salad. Frosted with a creamy topping, pecans and coconut, this yummy dish is a real crowd-pleaser.
3 packages (3 oz each) orange gelatin
3 cups boiling water
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
3 cups cold water
4 medium bananas, sliced
2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Stir in cold water, bananas, marshmallows and pineapple into gelatin. Pour into a 13" x 9" x 2" dish coated with non stick cooking spray, refrigerate until firm.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat: cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat: cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into the egg: return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil: cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth: add cooled filling. Fold in whipped cream, spread over gelatin. (dish will be full). Sprinkle with nuts and coconut.
Enjoy and
Happy Quilting,
