This isn't actually frog eye salad, but it's close enough to make kids think it is (pineapple, orange, coconut). And since they *like* frog eye, that's what we called it. ;>
1 8oz cream cheese
1 small box of lemon jello
1 cup boiling water
2 ice cubes
1 20oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1 14oz can mandarin oranges, drained
1 small jar maraschino cherries, drained (halved grapes would be a good sub)
1/2 to 3/4 cup coconut flakes
1 8oz container Cool Whip
Whip the cream cheese.
Dissolve jello in boiling water, then add 2 ice cubes. Add to cream cheese.
Add drained pineapple, mandarin oranges, cherries, coconut and stir until combined.
Chill until partially set, then fold in Cool Whip. [I let it set overnight and added the Cool Whip the next day before serving…this worked fine.]
