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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the crushed pineapple, including the juice, to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the pineapple into the mixture.
Step 3
Fold in the whipped topping gently, being careful not to deflate it too much. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the mini marshmallows for added texture and sweetness.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a dessert or side dish. Enjoy!
