Ingredients
2 (6 oz) strawberry Jello packages
2 cups boiling water, divided
20 oz frozen sliced strawberries
20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
2/3 cup chopped pecans
16 oz sour cream
Instructions
Prepare First Layer:
In a large bowl, dissolve 1 box of strawberry Jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.
Add Fruit & Nuts:
Mix in half of the frozen strawberries, half of the crushed pineapple, and 1/3 cup chopped pecans. Stir to combine.
Chill Base Layer:
Pour mixture into a 9×13-inch dish. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, until slightly set but not fully firm.
Prepare Second Layer:
Dissolve the second box of Jello in the remaining 1 cup boiling water. Stir in the remaining strawberries, pineapple, and pecans.
Add Sour Cream Layer:
Spread sour cream evenly over the partially set base layer. Gently spoon the second Jello mixture over the sour cream layer.
Chill Until Set:
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Make sure the first layer is partially set before adding sour cream to keep layers distinct.
For easier spreading, let sour cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
Toast pecans lightly for deeper flavor.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
