The star of this recipe is a 6-ounce package of orange gelatin, which is dissolved in boiling water to create a flavorful base. To this, we add a smooth and creamy element with a 8-ounce package of reduced-fat cream cheese, processed until it blends seamlessly with the gelatin. The addition of 16 ounces of unsweetened crushed pineapple and 1 cup of finely grated carrots brings a vibrant color and a burst of natural flavors to the salad. Finally, 8 ounces of reduced-fat whipped topping are folded in to create a light and airy texture.
After pouring the mixture into a serving bowl, a brief chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours will allow it to firm up and become ready to impress your guests. With a balanced caloric breakdown of 8.33% protein, 29.53% fat, and 62.14% carbs, this Whipped Carrot Salad is a nutritious and delicious addition to any meal.
