Servings: 8
Calories: 1kcal
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce Whipped topping thawed
- 2 3 ounce Orange gelatin powder like Jell-O
- 1 16 ounce Cottage cheese large curd (full fat)
- 1 20 ounce Crushed pineapple drained
- 1 15 ounce Mandarin oranges in juice, drained, and cut in half
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine thawed whipped topping and orange gelatin powder. Stir until completely combined.
- Fold in cottage cheese, drained crushed pineapple and drained mandarin orange pieces. Gently stir until completely combined.
- Cover and chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator or overnight. (It is better the next day, in my opinion.) If it seems watery when removed from the refrigerator, just stir.
- OPTIONAL: If serving for a party, smooth the top with a spoon and add whole Mandarin oranges to the top before serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (It may seem watery, just stir upon removing.)
Notes
Some people add mini marshmallows (1 cup) or chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts. I like it with those items, too, but this is the original recipe the way my mom makes it.
