Note

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before melting to avoid lumps.

Do not drain the pineapple completely if you prefer a moister dessert; reserve a tablespoon of juice to mix in if needed.

For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use vegan marshmallows and whipped topping. Note that the Jell-O brand is not vegan; use a plant-based gelatin alternative.

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