Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups halved seedless grapes
  • 1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained and cut in half
  • 1 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 cups whipped topping

Instructions

  • Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a saucepan, combine drained pineapple and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly.
  • Dissolve gelatin in cold water, then stir into the pineapple mixture and blend until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then stir in cubed cream cheese until smooth.
  • Fold in grapes, mandarin oranges, chopped cherries, and pecans until combined.
  • Fold in whipped topping until fully mixed, then pour over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  • Place in the refrigerator overnight to set.

Notes

Feel free to swap ingredients based on availability or dietary preferences, such as using graham cracker crumbs for the crust or vegan substitutes. Toast the pecans before adding to enhance flavor and texture. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices for up to a month. Avoid mixing the filling too vigorously to maintain a light texture and ensure the whipped topping doesn’t deflate.
