Ingredients:
- 1 box of fruit-flavored gelatin (such as orange or lemon)
- 1 can (15 oz) of fruit cocktail, drained
- 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of cold water
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
Instructions:
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a bowl, dissolve the fruit-flavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water, then refrigerate the gelatin for about 30 minutes until it starts to set but is still slightly soft.
- Mix the Creamy Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Then fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Dessert: Once the gelatin has partially set, pour it into a glass dish. Add the fruit cocktail over the gelatin layer and gently press it into the gelatin. Then, pour the creamy mixture over the fruit and gelatin layer. Spread it evenly.
- Final Refrigeration: Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the dessert to set completely for about 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this cool and refreshing treat!
This dessert is perfect for a sweet, creamy, and fruity treat on a warm day!
