Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place crushed pineapple (do not drain) in a large heat-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds or until warmed through. Remove from Microwave, add orange-flavored gelatin, and stir until it is mostly dissolved.
  3. 3 Carefully add boiling water to pineapple mixture and stir until Jell-O mixture is completely dissolved.
  4. 4 Add cream cheese to a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. You can also use a standalone mixer with a paddle attachment.
  5. 5 Add cream cheese to Jell-O-pineapple mixture and beat on low until smooth; fold in whipped topping. If any clumps remain, beat on low until desired consistency is reached.
  6. 6 Fold in pecans; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set and firm to the touch, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  7. 7 Serve chilled.
