Simple frozen salad uses cream cheese, whipped cream, and gelatin as a base for fresh fruit.

Prep Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon water mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
  • 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1-1/2 cups mixed diced fresh fruit

Preparation:

Place water mixture in a custard cup, sprinkle in gelatin and sugar, and set in a small pan of simmering water; heat and stir until gelatin dissolves.

Beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until blended and stir in gelatin mixture; whip cream to soft peaks and fold in along with fruit. Spoon into a 9-inch square pan and freeze just until firm. Cut in squares and serve on lettuce.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
