1-1/2 cup boiling water
1 pkg. strawberry jello
1 T lemon juice
1-10 oz. pkg. frozen sliced strawberries
Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add lemon juice and frozen strawberries. Stir until berries are thawed. Pour into 7-1/2 X 11-1/2 pyrex dish and refrigerate until set.
2nd Layer:
1-1/2 cup boiling water
1 pkg. lemon jello
1/3 cup sugar
16 large or 2 cups small marshmallows
1-3oz. pkg. softened cream cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple (including juice)
1 cup whipping cream or 1 pkg. dream whip
Dissolve jello in boiling water. Immediately add marshmallows, sugar, and cream cheese. Stir until marshmallows are melted. Beat vigorously with egg beater. Add pineapple. Let partially congeal in refrigerator. Fold in whipped cream and pour over first layer.
I have to say that this is the only recipe I have that uses the word "congeal." How cool is that? This is a very tasty jello side dish/dessert. I had a hard time getting the marshmallows to melt like they were supposed to, so I just gave up and let them be. I liked the flavors together, so I'll probably hang onto this one in case I ever need a jello recipe.
