Instructions

Drain and Reserve: Start by draining the can of crushed pineapple, making sure to reserve the juice. Set the pineapple chunks aside for later use.
Gelatin Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the reserved pineapple juice with 1 cup of water. Add the lime-flavored gelatin to the mixture. Cook and stir over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, refrigerate the mixture until it becomes syrupy, about 30 minutes.
Beat Cream Cheese: In a small mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy.
Combine: Gradually stir the syrupy gelatin mixture into the cream cheese. Add in the reserved pineapple chunks, chopped walnuts, and miniature marshmallows. Mix until everything is well combined.
Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream into the mixture. This will give the salad its fluffy texture.
Transfer and Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart serving bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the salad is set and firm.
