Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) lime gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup 2% milk
BERRY LAYER:
2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
Optional ingredients: Thawed whipped topping, lime wedges and fresh strawberries

Directions

Dissolve lime gelatin in boiling water; stir in pineapple juice. Stir in pineapple. Pour into an 11x7-in. dish; refrigerate until set.
In a small saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl. Beat in cream cheese and milk until smooth. Spread over lime layer; refrigerate until set.
Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water; stir in cranberry sauce. Cool for 10 minutes. Carefully spoon over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until set.
Cut into squares. If desired, serve with whipped topping, lime wedges and fresh strawberries.

Test Kitchen Tips

For individual portions, pour gelatin layers into clear plastic cups.

Homemade whipped cream topping truly tastes best. Beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream on high until slightly thickened, then add 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until soft peaks form.
