Chop apricots, add to the pineapple mixture. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of apricot juice to go in the ¼ cup Jello. Pour pineapple and apricot mixture in 8 x 12 oblong dish and place in refrigerator to congeal.

Whip Dream Whip according to package directions; place in refrigerator. Have cream cheese at room temperature, beat with ½ cup powdered sugar and ¼ cup Jello.
