My aunt taught me this holiday dessert!

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

whipped topping

🥗Healthier: whipped coconut cream

💰Cheaper: homemade whipped cream

Coconut cream offers a dairy-free option.

mini marshmallows

🥗Healthier: dried fruit

💰Cheaper: regular marshmallows

Dried fruit adds natural sweetness.

pecans

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats and are often less expensive.

Dissolve lime gelatin in boiling water until fully melted.

In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese until smooth.

Add sour cream to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.

Stir in the dissolved gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.

Fold in whipped topping gently until incorporated.

Add crushed pineapple, draining excess juice, and mix well.

Stir in mini marshmallows and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or mold.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Serve chilled, garnished with additional whipped topping if desired.
