Green Stuff

I know what you're thinking, but this really is a great update to an old classic buffet dish.  It's got pineapple and cream of coconut and a creamy topping.  In addition to being tasty, it's a beautiful side dish to a festive table!

Green Stuff

Ingredients

• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 14 oz. cream of coconut (usually used for pina coladas)
• 1/4 cup key lime juice
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple
• 2 or 3 drops green food coloring, optional
• 7 oz. marshmallow fluff
• 8 oz. cream cheese or mascarpone, softened

Serves 12

​Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and set aside.  Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil and mix into cold water-gelatin mixture.  Stir to combine.  Whisk in cream of coconut, lime juice, and yogurt.  Stir in pineapple and food coloring.
Pour into mold and refrigerate overnight.
Meanwhile, beat marshmallow fluff and cream cheese until they form a cohesive mixture.  Put into a zip-top bag fitted with a star-tipped point.  
When you are ready unmold your gelatin, use the cream cheese mixture to pipe around and on-top for decoration.
