Cottage Cheese 'Fluff'


Here’s a different twist on an old favorite, cottage cheese and fruit. Fast, easy, and ready to go in minutes!

I’ve never been a big fan of cottage cheese, but I LOVE this recipe!!! It’s great as a side dish, light main dish or even dessert. Mix it up with your favorite fruit and flavor of gelatin and have a different dish every time! Try serving it with a bowl of soup or ½ of a sandwich for a light and tasty meal.

Cottage Cheese ‘Fluff’

1 (16oz)Fat free cottage cheese
1 sm pkgGelatin (any flavor)
1 (8oz)Frozen whipped topping, defrosted
1 canFruit, well drained (crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, or cut up pears or peaches)
Pour cottage cheese into a large bowl. For a smoother texture, puree cottage cheese with a mixer in a large bowl. Add gelatin and mix well. By hand, gently mix in drained fruit, and then fold in whipped topping.

Serve immediately or chill to enjoy later.

PS – seasonal fresh berries, peaches or nectarines can be substituted for the canned fruit. Use about 1 ½ to 2 cups.

Wow, this is a tradition in my family that has been handed down for many years. Only on holidays do I get this treat. Orange jello for turkey day, pink for Easter and green for Christmas. This is my favorite side dish on holidays!!
