15 minThis throwback molded salad brings together apricot Jello with apricot baby food (yes, really) for double fruit flavor.
Cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk get beaten until smooth and folded into the gelatin mixture along with crushed pineapple and chopped nuts.
Pour it into a mold or bowl and let it set in the fridge for a jiggly, creamy side dish that feels like a trip back to 1960s potlucks.
Kitchen Tips
- Beat the cream cheese mixture until completely smooth to avoid lumps
- Chill the condensed milk beforehand for easier mixing
- Use a bundt mold for an impressive presentation at holiday gatherings
