Thank you, CottonBall. I finally made my jello pear salad; it was lovely. I found a recipe how to get the cream cheese blended with the jello (didn't feel like dirtying my food processor or digging out my hand mixer). I still got a few little tiny balls of cream cheese but barely noticeable.

Found this:

Google books - lime pear salad

I like it just the way I decided to do it, chunks of pears and doesn't need any whip cream imo. They also puree the pears and use the smaller pack of jello which might cut the intensity of the lime flavor. If I did that, I might use a packet of unflavored gelatin as I like a nice, firm jello but not like knox blocks.

I sure had to whisk for awhile though to get it smooth enough to suit me, always used my mixer before.
