Green Flop Jello

This recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine.  Our grand-kids really like Jello with our Sunday dinner, so when I saw this recipe, I wanted to give it a try.  I would say it is more of a dessert than a salad, but it is really quite yummy!  When I served it, I used an ice-cream scoop, and it gives it a fun look.  It is quick and easy to put together-using a blender for part of it.  A fun new thing to try with Jello!

Green Flop Jello
from Taste of Home Magazine

2 cups lemon-lime soda
2 pkg (3 oz each) lime gelatin
6 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
1 carton (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1. Microwave 2 cups soda on high 1-2 minutes (I did it for 3 to get it hot enough) or until hot.  Place hot soda and gelatin in a blender; cover and process until gelatin is dissolved.  Add cream cheese, process to blend.

2. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in chilled soda.  Whisk in whipped topping.  Pour into a 3 qt. bowl.  Refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours or until firm.

Is that ice cream because it doesn't really look like jello.
