Floating Twinkies

These are also known as Undescended Twinkies...a super summer dessert!

1 (6 ounce) box orange Jell-O or 2 (3 ounce) boxes
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
7 ounces 7-Up
8 Twinkies

Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Add pineapple juice, ice cream and 7-Up. Mix thoroughly (in a blender if necessary to dissolve ice cream), and pour into a deep 9-inch square pan. Chill until mixture begins to set.

Lay Twinkies, flat side down, in two rows of four across the top of the chilled gelatin. If the gelatin is properly chilled, it will resist the Twinkies. Push them in and they will slowly rise. Don't bury them. Just make sure they are semi-descended. Chill until fully set and serve.
