Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices in juice, undrained*
• Cold water
• 7 maraschino cherry halves
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 (6 ounce) box Jell-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
• 1 (8 ounce) can Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

Instructions

1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough cold water to juice to measure 1 1/2 cups; set aside.

3. Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in measured pineapple juice and water. Remove 1 cup of the gelatin; set aside at room temperature.
4. Refrigerate remaining gelatin 1 1/2 hours or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression).
5. Stir in chopped pineapple. Spoon gelatin over pineapple slices in pan.
6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set but not firm (should stick to finger when touched and should mound).

8. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

How to Unmold Gelatin: Dip mold in warm water for about 15 seconds. Gently pull gelatin from around edges with moist fingers. Place moistened serving plate on top of mold. Invert mold and plate; holding mold and plate together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove mold and center gelatin on plate.

How to Soften Cream Cheese: Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese on microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH for 10 to 15 seconds or until slightly softened.

Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple, kiwi, papaya or guava juice. Gelatin will not set.
