Fabulous! Just like grandma used to make. It's even fluffier if you let the gelatin thicken a bit in the refrigerator and then whip it until it's foamy before adding everything else.

Super yummy! I tweaked it a bit by adding only a 3oz pk of gelatin, adding cut strawberries and blue berries. I don't see the need for 2 - 3 oz pks of gelatin.

I can't seem to get enough of this! I make half a recipe using just one package of sugar free gelatin (powder), just so that I can make another half recipe in a few days with another flavor gelatin! I used the sugar free gelatin and lite coolwhip and it's still phenomenal!

This an easy dessert. Fresh strawberries are wonderful in this. You can skip the cottage cheese if you'd like but it changes the consistency. Your choices for this dessert are limitless due to the number of jello flavors and fruit combinations that you can use.

Good basic recipe. I would recommend using only one package of strawberry gelatin instead of two. I also added frozen strawberries and pecans.

Quick, easy, and good. I used blue berry jello to give it kid appeal and they loved it!

I really want to make this recipe but I am a bit confused on whether I am supposed to actually prepare the jello or just use the powder? Any help would be appreciated.

My Grandma made this every Sunday, She sometimes used peach jello with peaches for the fruit, orange w/ mandarin oranges...etc..It's always good. Ive never heard of anyone preparing the jello then adding the other ing. Ive only seen, and eaten this using the jello powder and combining w/ other ing. I am following this recipe as was one my Grandma had as well. My toddler and teen loves this stuff, no changes here.

This is an old recipe that I've used many times in the past, but I'd lost it. Thanks for putting it on Allrecipes. The original recipe called for the dry jello being just mixed in with the rest of the ingredients. It also calls for pecans. A quick dessert, yet much loved at parties.

After reading the recipe and the reviews, it appears that some just add the geletin power to the rest of the ingredients while others actually made the jello, let it partially gel, then mixed in the other ingredients. I actually made the jello and it seems like it will work although slightly runny- probably next time I would try just adding one package of prepared jello and go from there.

Very, very sweet!! I used 24 oz. cottage cheese, 12 oz. cool whip and only 1 large pkg. of sugar free raspberry jello, to which I added 1 small container of sweetened frozen raspberries...seriously sweet, so I think I would only use half of a sf jello and either no raspberries or unsweetened ones. Good texture, just needs some tinkering for your specific taste.

This recipe is a bit sweet and not very substantial. I tweeked it by using just one packet of Jello and more cottage cheese. Enjoy!

I made this for my husband because I am not allowed to eat fruit. He wanted to use Orange Jell-O. He really liked this. It was funny to watch him eat it cause he was trying to do his homework at the same time. He'd take a bit set it down, try to study but not even a second later he'd pick it back up and eat more, he couldn't stop eating it. I tried some and picked around the pineapple, and it really is delicious. I might make one for me and omit the pineapple and double up on the cottage cheese. This would be a fantasitc dish for a party. Thank you so much.
