I used vanilla yogurt with the cottage cheese and these two blended up to a very thick, smooth consistency and, to be honest, I wasn't sure why the gelatin was needed to set the topping but it was ready and waiting so I used it. I ended up adding the flavoring and putting 8 big strawberries into the blender to make a mousse like dessert. Since I added the berries to the topping I didn't add the sweetener. I loved the end result, the cottage cheese gives it a rich feeling akin to cream cheese and it allows you to feel like your indulging while your actually being very good. This is so quick! Susie is dead on for time to make, it was in the fridge 5 mins after starting. YUMMM. Made for Photo Tag.
