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.

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

HUGE HIT will the entire family. It's a great twist on the usually plain 'ol cranberry sauce. I will make it EVERY thanksgiving!!Read more

It was a hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I served this last weekend when we had friends over for an early Thanksgiving dinner and they loved it. I have had to give... the recipe to a couple of them. I made it without the nuts as one of my guests can't have nuts, but can't wait to try it with nuts. I also used sugar-free gelatin to take a few calories out.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the first thing with cranberries in it my 10 year old son will eat. He loves this jello salad. I add mandarin oranges... to it and it tastes great. I have never made the topping, I just serve whipped cream with it. I love to have it for breakfast.Read more
