For some reason, the top layer didn't firm up. I also didn't like the fact that the jello was salty.

I tried making lime under the sea but changed a couple of ingriedients. First I made 1/2 of the 3oz. jello and let it firm completely. Then I mixed the cream cheese, nuts, and pineapple juice/ tiny bits of pineapple (instead of pears) and let it slightly set on top. Then I flipped it over to make it appear to be under the sea... I really liked your recipe, but I think the pineapple is a better choice
