My kids don't like the 'lumps' in cottage cheese. I've been making this dessert as a high-protein sweet-treat for years, but my version takes a little longer. I do dissolve the jello in the recommended amount of hot water but I don't add any cold water. I puree the cottage cheese in my food processor until it's smooth. I use low-fat cottage cheese, sugar-free jello and I add a little bit of splenda to sweeten-up the cottage cheese. I even get by without adding the whipped topping if I'm out - it's a little bit 'denser' - slightly more jello-y - it is fun to pour this into graham cracker crusts as a 'creamed pie', too, if you want to dress it up. Lots of ways to combine this, lots of flavours - we like lime with pear chunks - you can't screw this up and it's cheap and nutritious! :) Thanks for posting!

I used raspberry jello this time...My Mom always used Strawberry jello...our family calls it "Pink Stuff". I guess because it really doesn't have a catchy name. I did a google search for a name based upon ingredients and found this link. This is the first time making it with raspberry jello....with our family usual of peaches....I love it better than with strawberry if that is possible. lol. So tweak it next time with raspberry if you have never tried it. It is really good! Happy Easter by the way....Easter Sunday is a great day for this salad.

If you mix everything in a blender, like a Nutribullet, it comes out a smooth consistency more like a mousse or pudding. You can use any flavor jello, with your favorite fruit (just not fresh pineapple, it has an enzyme that breaks everything down and you can end up with soup!) OR just plain; no fruit means less carbs.
