You’ll only need eight ingredients specifically to make this dessert. You can make it ahead of time and just bring it to potluck parties or family dinners. Trust me, this will surely become a staple in your kitchen once you try it. Watch the video below to learn the step by step instructions on how to make this.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 6 oz box lime jello
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups 7up soda
  • 16 oz cool whip
  • 10 oz canned crushed pineapple, drained
  • 12 maraschino cherries, drained
  • 1 canister spray whipped topping

Directions:

Step 1

Place a medium saucepan on the stovetop over high heat, then add 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the burner, and add the water to a large mixing bowl along with a 6 oz box of lime jello. Stir for a few minutes until fully dissolved. Once dissolved, add 6 oz softened cream cheese, then blend everything together until nice and creamy using an electric mixer.

Step 2

Next, stir in 2 cups of 7up, then place it in the fridge to let it set for about an hour. After this, take it out of the fridge and add 16 oz Cool Whip. Fold together until just combined, then stir in the drained crushed pineapple. Transfer the jello mixture to a casserole dish, flatten it out evenly, then place it in the fridge for three hours to let it set. After the jello sets, top it with some whipped cream and 12 maraschino cherries. Serve and enjoy!
