Esther's Christmas Ambrosia Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

1 package of lime Jell-O

1 package of Philadelphia cream cheese

1 small container of Cool Whip

1 can of crushed pineapple

Maraschino cherries for garnish

Esther's Instructions:

Make the Jell-O and let it sit in the fridge for about three hours. (The package says four, but three is fine.) Get your cream cheese to room temperature and put it in a bowl. Drain the pineapple and save the juice. Slowly whisk the juice into the cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy enough to blend in with the Cool Whip. When it's smooth, fold in the Cool Whip. Add the crushed pineapple and mix until it looks like little yellow Christmas lights. Take a spoon and scoop in the Jello. Fold in gently. Cut the cherries in half and mix until the salad looks festive. That's it. Then chill it, because that makes it even better.
