Crushed pineapple with juices 1 (20 oz) can
Sugar 1/4 cup

Cream cheese (room temperature) 1 (8 oz) package
Heavy cream 2 cups

Remove from heat and whisk in the jello until fully dissolved.
Chill the jello mixture for about 30 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the heavy cream until fully combined.
Pour the chilled jello mixture into the cream mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Transfer to a serving dish if desired, then cover and chill for 3-4 hours until fully set.
