Dessert Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lime jello (3 oz.)
1 c. boiling water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 pt. (1 c.) whipping cream, whipped
2 c. (or about 16 oz.) drained, crushed pineapple
1/4 to 1/2 c. nuts (pecans are best)

Preparation

Combine jello, boiling water, and sugar and let jell to thick syrup. Then whip slightly. Add remaining ingredients.
