Ingredients

2 (3-ounce) packages raspberry gelatin
1/2 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple packet in its own juice
1 (15-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Topping:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons whipped cream
1/4 cup walnuts

Directions

Spray a 4-cup gelatin mold or a 9-inch square pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium glass mixing bowl, combine the raspberry gelatin and unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir with a metal spoon continuously for 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the pineapple and juice, cranberry sauce, and walnuts. Stir with a metal spoon until all ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.

About 1 hour before serving, invert the mold onto a serving platter and allow to sit at room temperature; the salad will release itself and come clean from the mold.

Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipped cream and walnuts in bowl. Spoon into the center of the mold.

YUMMY!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made a few alterations to the recipe. First, I used 1 package of cranberry flavored Jell-o and 1 package of raspberry... flavored Jell-o instead of 2 raspberry. I increased the amount of walnuts to app. 1 C and added these broken halves to the jell-o mixture. Then, I made it in a short trifle dish and once set, layered the cream cheese mixture on top. To add some sparkle, I used colored sugar (red and green for Christmas) crystals on top of the cream cheese mixture (next time I might try the clear/silver ones) and not only was this pretty and easy to serve in the bowl...it was marvelous! A new holiday staple at our house :-)Read more

Who Knew a Gelatin Salad could be this good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I admit we have always been food snobs and a gelatin salad as seen in the supermarket would never make it into our house. I... made this recipe as a "joke" and this joke was on me. Not only did I love it but the entire family loved this as well. We said dumbfounded how could we not know about this sooner. You have to make the recipe as written it is VERY good. I'm now a believer in Gelatin Salad.Read more

Big Hit with the Family!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We absolutely loved the salad! I wish I had made it a day ahead, because I didn't give it enough time to fully set up. ... Although, this didn't detract from the wonderful flavor! Thanks Paula!Read more
