This dish requires very little stove time, but you will need some patience between steps. To start out, bring the water, pineapple (with juices), and sugar to a boil, whisking often to ensure the bottom doesn’t burn. Once the mixture has boiled for a few minutes, remove it from the heat and whisk in the orange jello until fully dissolved. Then, allow the mixture to cool and thicken for about 30 minutes in the fridge. In the meantime, blend together the cream cheese and heavy cream in a separate bowl until nice and smooth.
Once the jello mixture is starting to gel, mix it into the creams until no lumps remain. Pour it into your favorite serving dish or leave it in the mixing bowl to portion out later, then pop it back in the fridge until it’s set. With its tangy flavor and smooth texture, this Amish Yum Yum Salad is a staple for good reason. Give the recipe a try and see for yourself!
