Jello Salad

This was at Courtney's blog. It sounds very cool and refreshing, doesn't it?

1 medium can crushed pineapple
1/4 c. sugar
1 ( 3 oz. ) box strawberry Jello
1 ( 8 oz. ) cream cheese, softened
1 c. ice water
1 ( 8 oz. ) Cool Whip

In medium size sauce pan, bring pineapple and sugar to boil. Add Jello and cream cheese. Reduce heat and stir until well blended. Remove from heat. Stir in ice water until ice is melted. Pour into glass serving bowl and refrigerate until almost set. Fold in Cool Whip until well blended. Refrigerate until set.
