Fluffy Pineapple Torte Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • FILLING:
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O®
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
  1. Combine crumbs, butter and sugar; press into the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes; cool. Pour evaporated milk into a metal mixing bowl. Add the mixer beaters. Cover and chill bowl and beaters for at least 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in water; chill until syrupy, about 30 minutes. Remove milk from refrigerator and beat until stiff peaks form. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add gelatin; mix well. Stir in pineapple and 3/4 cup walnuts. Fold in milk. Pour over crust. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Sprinkle remaining walnuts over the top before filling is completely firm.
