Description

This retro-style layered dessert salad is a showstopper for potlucks and family gatherings. It features a vibrant tart cherry gelatin base topped with a rich, creamy lemon gelatin mixture studded with crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and whipped cream. The contrast between the tart fruit layers and the sweet, fluffy topping creates a delightful texture and flavor profile. While it requires some patience to set properly, the results are visually stunning and delicious. Serve chilled for the best experience, garnished with chopped nuts for added crunch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in the tart cherry pie filling into the raspberry gelatin mixture until well combined.
  3. Pour the cherry mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan and refrigerate until firm, about 1-2 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, dissolve the lemon gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise together until smooth and well blended.
  6. Gradually add the dissolved lemon gelatin to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to prevent lumps.
  7. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple with its juice, whipped heavy cream, and miniature marshmallows.
  8. Spread the creamy lemon mixture evenly over the set cherry gelatin layer in the pan.
  9. Refrigerate the assembled salad for at least 2 hours, or until the top layer is completely set.
  10. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped nuts.
  11. Cut into squares and serve chilled, optionally on a bed of lettuce leaves.
