This was very good. I made it for a family bbque and everyone loved it. I did put the cottage cheese through a blender first and squeezed all the juice from the oranges and pineapple. It withstood the ninety degree heat. Will definitely make this again.

Very good recipe and super easy to make! I prepared it without variation, but I did puree the cottage cheese.

Be sure to drain the pineapple, oranges and cottage cheese otherwise it'll be soupy.

I just made this for Easter desert and it looks wonderful. I too, only used 1 box of gelatin and 1 container of whipped cream, added coconut and pureed the cottage cheese....Just put in the fridge to set overnight, but tasted it and it is AWESOME!

A fun, easy recipe. I made it as written, except I added about 1 cup of mini marshmallows. It's a great balance of sweet, with a little tang from the cottage cheese. The texture of the cottage cheese did not bother me at all - it really blends in. I took it to my book club and no one guessed there was cottage cheese in the recipe. A few tips - mix in a BIG bowl. The whipped topping goes down a little in volume as you stir, but it takes a big bowl to have enough room to mix. Also, it does not keep very well. After 3-4 days, the texture is not quite the same and liquid begins to separate. Try to finish it all in a day or two.

I think this would be better with pineapple chunks instead of crushed. The crushed makes the consistancy gritty. Other wise it's pretty tasty.

I think the unit of measures are wrong on this. I used 1 6 oz box of Jello instead of 2 3 oz. And I had to buy 2 8 oz tubes of cool whip to make up the 1 16 oz. I didnt even use all of the second one and I think the orange flavor was barely there. It was good though, however for sure doing coconut next time. That would make it even better!

This is very good. I have also used other flavors of gelatin and other fruits. One good one was raspberry gelatin with diced canned peaches and crushed pineapple - it tasted like a peach melba.

This is what relatives beg us to make for holidays, although my wife calls it ambrosia. Follow directions to the letter and don't change a thing if you're trying it for the first time, though we use sugar free jello. Use both boxes for full flavor.

This recipe is great!! Very easy to put together, made it the night before Thanksgiving. I think next time I will add some walnuts or pecans. I used black cherry jell-o because it's what I had on hand and it turned into a pretty pink fluff that everyone liked, including my husband who is not a cottage cheese fan.

Nice light orange creamcicle taste. I used the suggestions made by others. I pureed the cottage cheese, drained the fruits VERY well, and decreased the amount of cottage cheese and orange gelatin. It turned out nice and fluffy. I think these would look more visually appealing if they were served in parfait glasses, with alternating layers of mandarin oranges.

I have had this recipe in my family for years. The only hanges we ever make were to add a box of Cream cheese cut into tiny bits. This helps it set up faster and tastes great! I do also use large curd cottage cheese. Yummy.

I too, pureed the cottage cheese. I thought only 1 box of jello and 8 oz. whipped topping were necessary; it's a salad- I didn't think it needed to be overly sweet! Just sweet enough.

Yum! I've had this before but never made it myself. What a fabulous healthy way to get in some good ol' cottage cheese! I used 16oz fat free cottage cheese, 1 box of sugar-free/fat-free strawberry jello mix, 1 can of diced mandarin oranges (drained) and some fat-free cool whip. I would have used pineapple but didn't have any. This is as quick and easy as it gets and tasted great! Perfect healthy treat for the kids on a hot summer day. I don't know if it tastes better after it's chilled awhile but it tasted delicious immediately after I made it -which is a big plus! I don't think this is anything fancy for company or anything but it's great to have in the fridge for a sweet treat!
