Orange-Pineapple Delight - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
cold orange juice, as needed
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (6 ounce) package orange gelatin (or 2 3oz pkgs)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Preparation

Drain pineapple well, reserving juice.
Place pineapple juice in a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough cold orange juice to make 1 1/2 cups liquid.
Place orange jello in a large bowl and add boiling water; stir at least 2 minutes or until jello is completely dissolved.
Stir pineapple/orange juice into jello.
Reserve one cup of the jello mixture; leave this at room temperature.
Stir half of the crushed pineapple into jello mixture in bowl; pour into a 6 cup mold that you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (like Pam).
Refrigerate mold about two hours, or until set but not firm-- mixture should stick to your finger when touched, and should mound.
Place cream cheese into mixing bowl and stir in reserved gelatin (what you've been keeping at room temp); whisk well until smooth.
Stir in remaining crushed pineapple; spoon this mixture over gelatin layer in mold.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm; unmold and serve.
