The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad

Jump to Recipe

The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad made with lime Jello, cream cheese, Sprite, Cool Whip, pineapple, marshmallows, and a tiny cherry Jell-O heart.

The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad

So I finally got around to watching Illumination Presents: Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch.

I rarely go see things in the theater, with the exception of Star Wars, and so I didn’t see it last year.

And while it released to DVD in February I just wasn’t in the mood for it then.

But we watched it over the long holiday weekend and I thought it was a very cute modern take on the story.

Of course, nothing can replace the original, but I definitely like it better than the Jim Carey version.

The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad

I had already been thinking about what Grinch items I would make this year.

Usually I make at least one Grinch themed baked good or drink.

This year is no exception and I set out to see if I could make Grinch Jell-O Shots.

I can. And did. They will be up on a Tipsy Tuesday.

But because I made the Jell-O shots I had leftover mini heart shaped Jell-O jigglers.

For the recipe on how to make Jell-O Jigglers go here.

The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad

I had quite a few hearts left over and so I thought I would make a good ol’ Jell-O Salad.

They are very popular on my Pinterest page and so I figured one more couldn’t hurt.

Plus The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad is just fun.

I used this Nordic Ware Bakeware Tiered Heart Bundt and really suggest you do too.

It’s best for this recipe because the tiers are flat and so the heart can lay flat as well.

You can use an Bundt pan however if you don’t want to invest in this pan but really, this is a great pan.

If Bundt pans aren’t your thing you can make this in a 9-x-13-inch pan.

However, instead of placing the mini heart on the bottom of the pan you will need to place it on top.

The pan size and shape also allows for you to have a much larger heart cut out if you desire.

If you are using the mini heart shape these are the cutters I used.

The Grinch Green Jell-O Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 ounce) package Lime Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup Sprite
  • 1 (8 ounce) carton of Cool Whip (or whipped cream)
  • Cherry Jell-O Jigglers mini heart

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jello in water.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and vanilla until fluffy.
  3. Stir in Jello and beat until smooth.I usually put it in the blender to fully mix.
  4. Add pineapple and soda and mix until incorporated.
  5. Chill the mixture in refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes, so that when you lift it with a spoon it is clumpy.
  6. Fold in the Cool Whip and mini marshmallows.
  7. If using the heart shaped Bundt pan place the little red Jell-O heart on the top tier of the Bundt pan. If you want to use a 9-x-13-inch pan wait until the Jell-O filling is poured and place on top of that.
  8. Once the mini Jell-O heart is in place pour the lime Jell-O mixture into the Bundt pan.
  9. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm.
  10. If serving in pan, will make about 16 squares for 9-x13 pan or about 8 for a Bundt.

    My 5yo son with Down Syndrome is *obsessed* with the Grinch and insists on watching the movies all year. (The original is his favorite – btw!) I’m definitely going to have to make this for him soon.

    It’s a very cute looking dessert but I’ve always been curious as to why these type of desserts are called salads!! We have some creepy gelatin desserts from the 70s here in Australia but they were never called salad except for Ambrosia *shudder*!

      Because they originated in the South and the South calls anything in Jell-O or with Mayo a salad for some reason.

        well there you go! Weird but then a lot of things are! My mum is Welsh and she said there used to be some really heinous things set in aspic when she was a kid – just the thought of some of them is pretty bad lol!

          And the funny thing is in the South those salads aren’t considered dessert. 🙂

    I will always love jello salads! When I first saw the instagram and top pic, I thought the center was filled with lime jello too and was wondering how in the world you did that. Now I see it’s just the shadow. But I love how it looks cut and with the tiers, love nordicware pans. Might just have to add another to the stash… (Super excited for your cookbook too!!)

      Yeah, I love that pan. And yes, just a shadow. Super crazy dark lately in the PNW which makes for photographing things sometimes interesting. 🙂
