Tropical "jello" salad ("Jello Crap")

Submitted by: MAMA2ELLA

Introduction

We have this every holiday, and as far as I know it's always been called "jello crap," and I don't know where the recipe actually came from. :) Basically it's a fruit salad with a twist.

Ingredients

    1 package of sugar free jello (orange is best for this recipe, gives it a creamsicle taste)
    1 container of lite cool whip
    ~2 c. fat free cottage cheese (you can mush it up if you'd like a smoother texture, but either way it's fine)
    1 can tropical fruit salad, drained

Directions

Drain the tropical fruit and put it in a bowl. Add the whipped cream, unmade jello mix, and the cream cheese. For a smoother texture, you can slightly blend the cottage cheese. Refrigerate for about and hour, the mixture will solidy. Enjoy!

You can also do this with regular fruit cocktail and any flavor of sugar free jello.

    Mix dry jello with coolwhip, then the cottage cheese, and last the fruit. I use less coolwhip and small curd cottage cheese, but that's my personal preference. My mom uses large curd and 3/4 container coolwhip

    I'm sure that this is delicious, but this recipe doen't belong in the vegetarian section as gelatin ("jello") is an animal product. - 5/29/07

    I use the fat free cool whip also and this turns out very well. This is also great with any fruit - canned cherries are great! - 3/21/07

    I do love this. I've had it around the holiday season, too, and it's true that you can use whatever flavors and fruits you want. I'd use fat free whipped topping for mine. - 3/21/07
