Ingredients
- 1 small box blueberry gelatin
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 small box strawberry gelatin
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, partly thawed
Preparation
- Prepare blueberry gelatin according to package directions.
- Pour gelatin into 13” x 9” x 2” glass baking dish, refrigerate until set.
- In a medium bowl, beat together whipping cream and sugar.
- Add cream cheese and beat until smooth. Stir in pecans.
- Dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup water. Blend into cream cheese mixture.

Helpful hints
- For a change in flavor, you could use blackberry flavored gelatin instead of blueberry; raspberry flavored gelatin instead of strawberry; and frozen raspberries instead of strawberries.
- Pecans and other nuts are high in phosphorus and potassium. Each serving of this dessert contains 4 pecan halves, and remains low in phosphorus and potassium when consumed in the suggested portion. You could reduce the pecans to 1/2 cup or even omit from the recipe for a very low phosphorus, low potassium dessert. For a lower sugar version use sugar-free gelatin and sugar substitute instead of sugar.
