My grandmother used to make us this most delicious dessert that she called Pink Pudding. It’s a really simple recipe consisting of just a few ingredients.

Written on a 3×5 index card, my grandmother’s Pink Pudding recipe has been with me for more than 30 years. I am not sure if my grandmother invented this recipe or not but I like to believe that she did.

If she didn’t, then I have no idea where she got the recipe from however, I can tell you that it was not online. She made this dessert for us when we were kids and that was a long time before the internet was invented.

This Pink Pudding Dessert was one of my favorites as a kid. It has a light and foamy texture and is sweet yet has a little bit of tartness from the pineapple as well. Topped with chopped walnuts, the Pink Pudding Dessert is a refreshingly delicious summer treat.

Pink Pudding Ingredients

• 1 small box of Jell-O (cherry, mixed fruit, lime, any flavor)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 8 oz package of Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1 large can of crushed pineapple
• 1 can of refrigerated canned milk (Carnation)

*The following steps and pictures are for a double batch. For this double batch, we used a single large box of Jell-O and then just doubled everything else.

Let’s get started…

*** My grandmother would not melt the cream cheese completely allowing small chunks to be in the pudding. I liked it this way however, if this is not desirable you can go ahead and allow the cream cheese to melt completely.

Options

• Add chopped walnuts or pecans on top.
• Another option is to pour it into a graham cracker pie crust.
• This is also good served with Vanilla Wafers.

Serve and enjoy.
