1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup cold water 1 cup cream of coconut 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 3/4 cup lemon-lime soda 3/4 cup flaked coconut 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts Pineapple chunks and freshly shredded coconut, optional
Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set the pineapple aside. In a large saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the cream of coconut, sour cream, soda and reserved pineapple juice. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Fold in the flaked coconut, nuts and reserved pineapple. Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. To serve, unmold salad onto a platter. Fill the center with pineapple chunks and shredded coconut if desired. Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Coco Lopez cream of coconut.
