Note

Ensure the Jell-O is fully dissolved before adding the cold ingredients to prevent clumping.

You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.

For easier removal, run a knife around the edges of the pan before unmolding, or invert onto a serving plate.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
