Cranberry Cream Cheese Dessert: A Festive and Refreshing Delight

In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve the cranberry Jello in the boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved.
Add the drained crushed pineapple to the Jello mixture and stir to combine. For an extra crunch, mix in the chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish or serving dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set for about 2-3 hours, or until the Jello has fully set.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping:

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the vanilla extract and stir until fully combined.
Assemble the Dessert:

Once the cranberry layer has set, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the Jello layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for another 1-2 hours to allow the layers to firm up and set.
Serve and Enjoy:

Before serving, you can garnish the top with extra chopped nuts, a few fresh cranberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair.
