Cherry Jello Dessert

A friend from work gave me this recipe. I was looking for something low cal that was "summery" & this seemed like a type of dessert for a cookout. It's very refreshing & light. I have no clue what the actual name of this recipe is so I just made up one ; )

Cherry Jello Dessert 


2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1 box cherry sugar free jello
1 can cherry pie filling (no sugar added)
15 oz crushed pineapple (don't drain)

  • Boil water & sugar
  • Add jello & dissolve
  • Add pie filling & pineapple (with juice)
  • Pour into 13 x 9 dish & congeal

Topping:
8 oz Sour Cream (light)
8oz Cream Cheese (fat free)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup pecan pieces 

  • Mix sour cream & cream cheese with hand mixer
  • Add sugar & vanilla 
  • Mix until smooth
  • Pour topping over jello & smooth
  • Sprinkle nuts over top if desired
  • Chill before eating  

It doesn't look very pretty, but it tastes good! ; )
