Although I suspect that the cream cheese & whipping cream were meant to be combined for a topping, I decided to change that a bit ~ Instead I allowed the 'jell-O' mixture in the refrigerator to almost set before I blended the cream cheese & whipping cream together AND THEN stirred that mixture into the jell-O, & we thought that worked out just great! Another time, I'll probably use a red jell-O, but as originally made, it was very satisfying! [Made & reviewed in Zar Chef Alphabet Soup tag] -
This is a wonderful tasty salad. I once had a very similar recipe,but lost it, so I can't thank you enough for posting this. I'll definitely be having it for Christmas! The only difference is that I'll be using raspberry gelatin.
