Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cottage cheese
- 3 ounces Flavored gelatin mix (any flavor, e.g., strawberry, lime, orange)
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip, thawed)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and the flavored gelatin mix. Stir well to ensure the gelatin powder is evenly distributed and coats the cottage cheese.
Add the crushed pineapple, including the juice, to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the pineapple into the mixture.
Fold in the whipped topping gently, being careful not to deflate it too much. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
If desired, fold in the mini marshmallows for added texture and sweetness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a serving dish with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set slightly.
Serve chilled as a dessert or side dish. Enjoy!
