Ingredients

• 6 oz Lime gelatin mix
• 2 cups Hot water
• 2 cups 7 Up soda
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 8 oz Cool Whip (or whipped topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the lime gelatin mix in 2 cups of hot water. Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Stir in 2 cups of cold 7 Up soda. The carbonation will cause the mixture to fizz slightly, so pour it slowly and mix gently.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese while continuing to mix. This helps temper the cream cheese, ensuring it blends smoothly without clumping.

Step 5

Once combined, pour the cream cheese mixture back into the remaining gelatin mixture. Whisk thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the gelatin mixture to a 9x13-inch dish or preferred serving container. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4-6 hours, or until firmly set.

Step 8

Once the gelatin has set, spread a thick, even layer of Cool Whip on top as a creamy topping.

Step 9

Slice into squares or scoop into serving dishes, and enjoy your No Marshmallow 7 Up Salad!
