This creamy pear and lime jello dessert is easy to make and delicious. An easy to make dinner jello – creamy texture and amazing flavor – this is a fun sweet treat you get to serve with dinner. It may sound like and odd combination but it’s seriously amazing.

I grew up with dinner Jell-O (or sometimes referred to as Jell-O salad). I didn’t know it was a strange thing until I grew up! Of course now I live in UT where it’s a “little” more common. Do you have a favorite family recipe that others think are weird but you love?

Jell-O Salad’s aren’t salad, but they aren’t dessert either… They are a delicious light treat, that my kids love and ask for all the time. My Brother in Law fell in love with this recipe when he married my sister and he can finish off an entire pan himself! I enjoy eating pieces of it the next day for treats though out the day, breakfast, lunch dinner

Stir in the cream as much or as little as you like. It’s kind of fun getting a chunk of the cool whip/cream in your serving, as a child we all felt like a winner if we got the biggest blog! I’ll often stir in the full 8 oz smooth, then add extra whipped cream for small chunks!

Let set in fridge overnight! And serve!

We serve them in squares, and as children my sisters and I couldn’t just eat them, we’d use our forks to cut away jell-o to create shapes! My favorite was always a house… As a mom I watch my kids do the same thing- it’s the one time it’s okay to play with their food!

So did you grow up with Dinner Jell-O Salad? Never tried it? Will you?

    This is so great! Thanks for sharing. My mom makes something similar to this all the time. We call is green crap. Dunno why. It is made with french vanilla ice cream, lime jello and fruit cocktail. I think that’s all. Every time there is a pot luck or holiday mom makes it and is always asked for the recipe. Key note most kids won’t eat it cause it’s green. Once they try it they are in love! too funny! I can’t wait to try this version. Thanks again!

      HA! my mom hates the word Crap so that wouldn’t fly at our house! It’s such a pretty green too! I’m not a fan of fruit in my jello, but this ground up pear version is totally tasty for some reason! I hope your kids like it as much as mine do!
