Ingredients

• 6 oz Raspberry-flavored gelatin (Jello mix)
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1 cup Cold water
• 2 cups Frozen raspberries
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the frozen raspberries and drained crushed pineapple. The cold from the frozen raspberries will help the gelatin start to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish or decorative serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the gelatin is partially set (it should be thickened but jiggly).

Step 5

Once the jello is partially set, evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.

Step 7

Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Cover and refrigerate for at least an additional 2 hours, or until completely set and chilled through.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
