Simple Pineapple Jello Food

PINEAPPLE & CREAM CHEESE JELL-O SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve JELL-O in 2 cups boiling water. Whisk in softened cream cheese until thoroughly blended. Then add crushed pineapple, pineapple juice and 1/2 cup cold water. Pour into 6-cup mold and refrigerate until set.
• Turn out mold onto serving plate. Spoon COOL WHIP into center of mold.
• Arrange your choice of fresh or frozen fruit on top as desired. (I'm not entirely happy about the color of the kiwi in combination with the color of the JELL-O, but since it tastes great, I live with it. Ha!)
• Serve immediately, and be sure to add a big spoonful of the fruit and COOL WHIP to your JELL-O for a cool, creamy and refreshing fruit dessert!
