Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ounces (85 grams) cherry Jell-O
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Cool Whip
Fruit Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) crushed pineapple (drained)
- 10 ounces (283 grams) Maraschino cherries (drained)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend cottage cheese with cherry Jell-O powder until completely integrated and vibrant pink.
- Incorporate Cool Whip using delicate folding motions, creating a luxurious, airy texture that appears light and creamy.
- Gently introduce chopped pineapple and halved maraschino cherries, stirring carefully to distribute ingredients evenly throughout the fluffy mixture.
- Transfer the dessert to a sealed container and refrigerate for minimum 60 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and consistency to set properly.
- When ready to serve, retrieve from refrigerator and artfully garnish with additional whole maraschino cherries on top for visual appeal and extra sweetness.
- Serve immediately while chilled, maintaining the dessert’s delicate, cloud-like consistency.
Notes
- Ensure cottage cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps and create a smoother texture.
- Use sugar-free Jell-O and low-fat Cool Whip for a lighter, diet-friendly version of the dessert.
- Drain maraschino cherries and pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the fluff watery.
- For a more intense cherry flavor, reserve some cherry syrup and drizzle it over the top before serving.
