Orange Jello Supreme

In the record-book of Mormon jello's, this jello is the best. 

By far. 

Like, I search for it before getting meat, at every ward Christmas party in hopes of piling my plate full of it before it's gone. 

But I only ever find it if I'm in an "established" {old ward with old ladies} ward. 

This year, there was no such luck, so I had to turn to my mother for the recipe, only to find out, it's been in our family cookbook ALL ALONG!! 

So naturally I had to make it! 

1- 6 oz pkg orange jello

1 large can CRUSHED pineapple, drain juice out well and RESERVE

2 cups cool whip

8 oz cream cheese, room temp

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tbsp flour or corn starch

1 C pineapple juice

1Tbsp lemon juice

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 C finely chopped pecans {optional}

.

Make jello according to directions on the package. 

Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish and add drained pineapple. 

Mix well and place in fridge until firm. 

.

While Jell-O is setting up, beat Cool Whip and softened cream cheese together until smooth. 

Store in fridge until ready to use.

Mix flour and sugar together in a small sauce pan. 

Add pineapple juice and lemon juice and stir well on medium heat. 

Stir in beaten eggs and cook slowly until thickened, stirring occasionally.
