Holiday Jello

Ok, another holiday treat. This is a yummy, cool jello salad that will please even the pickiest palate.

1 large packaged of strawberry jello
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 large tub of Cool Whip
12 oz. can of crushed pineapple

Mix 2 cups of hot water and the jello in a blender.
Add cream cheese and mix
Add pineapple and let cool
Fold in Cool Whip and strawberries - refrigerate
Stir occasionally until jello starts to set
When jello has set completely, mix 1 jar of strawberry glaze and add as topping.
Garnish (I use a few fresh strawberries and mint leaves)
