So So Yummy... we made something like this in the deli I used to work in... We would mix crushed pineapple with the cottage cheese.. jello and cool whip... you can use any flavor jello..we always called it "Fluff"... we sold more black cherry and strawberry than any other flavors.

This site comes well recommended and I needed some easy desserts for in-laws coming this Easter. This strawberry fluff was excellent!! I made it for my husband (to try it before company comes), and he loved it. The strawberry jello really gives it an intense taste, and I love the addition of cottage cheese. One of my in-laws is on The Zone diet, and protein is always appreciated. Thanks Bunnee.

Super yummy!!!!!! This was terrific!!!! I didn't add the nuts. I put halved strawberries on the top instead. This is a nice light dessert and I really like it!! I could eat the whole bowl myself. I never thought to mix jello and cottage cheese. You could probably do this with whatever flavor of jello and whatever fruit you could find. Terrific!!!!

Are you kidding me? We have so many delicious desserts in Utah I can't believe you're saying this is the favorite! So disappointing!

This was really good! I used some lite canned peaches and sugar free peach jello as that is what I had on hand. I did omit the pecans. It was really simple, quick and the family loved it. My DH thought it should have some coconut on the top. Thanks so much for posting this, it's a real keeper.
