Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Small box of Jell-O - cherry, mixed fruit, strawberry, lime, or any flavor
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 8 Oz. Package of Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1 Large can Crushed pineapple
  • 1 Can Canned milk (Carnation) - Canned milk must be cold

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan, mix the Jell-O and sugar.
  2. Add the can of crushed pineapple including the juice and cream cheese.
  3. Heat and stir over low heat until cream cheese melts.
    *** My grandmother would not melt the cream cheese completely allowing small chunks to be in the pudding. I actually liked it this way however, if this is not desirable you can go ahead and allow the cream cheese to melt completely.
  4. Let it cool completely.
  5. Pour the canned milk into a separate bowl. Make sure the canned milk is cold.
  6. Using a mixer if possible, whip up the cold canned milk in a bowl until it is frothy.
  7. Fold the canned milk into other ingredients (mixture of Jell-O, sugar, pineapple and cream cheese from above).
  8. Pour into dessert cups or bowls or all into one large bowl. Refrigerate until set.

Notes

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 or Graham Crackers.
