Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Chilling Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6-8
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and cherry Jell-O powder. Stir until the Jell-O powder is fully incorporated, creating a uniform pink mixture.
- Add the Pineapple and Cherries: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Incorporate the Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the mixture, ensuring it’s fully blended but not overmixed to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- Serve: Garnish with additional maraschino cherries or a sprinkle of crushed pineapple for a decorative touch. Serve chilled.
Tips for Success
- Drain Well: Ensure the pineapple and cherries are well-drained to prevent the fluff from becoming too watery.
- Mix Gently: Overmixing can deflate the Cool Whip, resulting in a denser texture.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared a day in advance, making it a stress-free option for entertaining.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try swapping the cherry Jell-O with strawberry or raspberry for a fun twist.
