Ingredients
3oz. package powdered orange gelatin
16oz.cottage cheese(we prefer the small curd)
11oz.or 15 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained*
2cupsCool Whip or Homemade Real Whipped Cream**(link for Homemade Real Whipped Cream in Notes below)
Instructions
Mix powdered jello with cottage cheese. Add mandarin oranges and combine.
Fold in Cool Whip (or Real Whipped Cream).
Best if refrigerated for several hours before serving, but it's definitely good right after it's made too! The chilling just helps it set up better.
Notes
*Crushed pineapple or other fruit can be used instead…you could even change up the jello flavors for more variety!** Homemade Real Whipped Cream recipe
