This is a variation of other strawberry cream cheese salad recipes, as it uses fewer ingredients, does not call for sour cream, and uses the small size Jello package. This is a wonderful brunch dish, especially when served with something like Chicken Mold. It's often used for showers, too. This recipe was given to me by a friend's mother many years ago. (Cooking time is chilling time.) Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry jell-o gelatin dessert |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temp |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1 cup celery, diced fine |
2 cups crushed pineapple, well drained |
3/4 cup nutmeats |
Directions:
1. Prepare jello according to package instructions. Have jello cold, but not set.
2. Blend cream cheese and cream till smooth. Add to jello. (Don't worry about any lumps of cream cheese that may be in the mixture. They are quite pretty - and tasty - in the final product!).
3. Add diced celery, drained pineapple, and nuts. Stir till well mixed.
4. Pour into mold and refrigerate until firm.
5. Note: if you're having a brunch or shower, consider serving this along side Chicken Mold (Chicken Mold) - they are wonderful together!
