A refreshing not too sweet salad with crunch, one of my favorites!
Bring the juice from the mandarin oranges and enough water to make one cup to a boil. Mix with Jell-O. Add softened cream cheese and mix until dissolved; let set until slightly jelled. Add the rest of the ingredients. Of course you may substitute other flavors and fruits, but this is a favorite of mine.

Dissolve gelatins in hot water. Add rest of ingredients, mix well and chill in 2 qt. casserole. Spread topping over congealed salad. Sprinkle with chopped pecans on top if desired. Chill until serving.
The addition of gelatin or jello to a vegetable or fruit salad can make a very refreshing side dish. This page contains congealed salad recipes.
I lost the Christmas recipe of my mother's souffle jello salad. It was made with lemon jello then, using an egg beater, you added mayonaise, let it set partially and folded in pineapple tidbits, maraschino cherries, and bananas.
The it was placed in a mold until set. Does anyone have this recipe?Jello is a great medium for vegetable salad ingredients. This page contains Jello vegetable salad recipes.

My mother made a sunshine (carrot jello salad). I have found that recipe, but she served it with a topping. Some of the ingredients were whipping cream, lemon juice, and zest. She cooked a flour mixture and then folded in the whipped cream and lemons. Dose anyone know of this recipe?

For as far back as I can remember my gram made a Jello salad for one of our Christmas dinner desserts. She passed away around a year and a half ago and needless to say last Christmas just wasn't the same. I want to take over for her and start making her Jello salad for our family every Christmas, but the problem is I don't have her recipe.
I know the the ingredients she used, but I don't know how to put it all together. I know she used: a large box of lime Jello, a large can of fruit cocktail, 2 8 oz packs of Philadelphia cream cheese, and 2 pints of whipping cream (or heavy whipping cream, I'm not sure).
Does anyone know of a Jello salad recipe that calls for those ingredients? Or does anyone know how I should put those items items together to actually make the Jello salad? Any tips or ideas will be gratefully appreciated!
Thank You, Merry Christmas!

I was also looking for a lime jello recipe and found this one on allrecipes.com. The ingredients sound really similar to the one your gran made but looks like it could use some tweaking. Hope this helps!
