Ingredients

  • 6 ounces lime JELLO
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained and patted dry
  • cherries
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Place the lime JELL-O and boiling water in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix JELL-O in with the cream cheese until fully combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Mix in the crushed pineapple, cherries, Cool Whip, and mini marshmallows. Stir to combine.
  • Spread the mixture out in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the pineapple. Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple and pat it dry with a paper towel. This will help the consistency of the fluff.
  • Soften the cream cheese. Make sure to let the cream cheese soften to room temperature.
  • Fold in the whipped topping. Try and be gently folding in the Cool Whip to help keep the creamy consistency.
  • It's important to chill. Chilling the sea foam salad is important to let it set up.
