ingredients

1 can (20 ounce size) unsweetened crushed pineapple
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup cream of coconut
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup lemon-lime soda

Drain pineapple, reserving juice, set the pineapple aside.

In a large saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water, let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat, stir in the cream of coconut, sour cream, soda and reserved pineapple juice. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Fold in the flaked coconut, nuts and reserved pineapple. Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.

To serve, unmold salad onto a platter. Fill the center with pineapple chunks and shredded coconut if desired.
