So if you are looking for an easy dessert or jello salad to take to one of the many potlucks that will be showing up this Holiday season; try what my sister calls Orange Fluff!

Jello Salad with Cottage Cheese

The is a fantastic recipe to take to family gatherings or potluck meals. It is incredibly easy to mix up and is a hit with all the kids! And little do they know they are actually getting in some protein! They just think it’s a fun dessert.

Though you should hope there aren’t any leftovers because it doesn’t turn out great after the first day. It’s not so fluffy and a little runny as it all separates.

Another important step you need to remember is to thaw the cool whip. I tried making this the other day without realizing my cool whip wasn’t thawed. Yeah, still frozen hard after I dropped it into the mix.

I figured, “oh I’ll just leave it there and let it thaw, then mix it up. Oh, It’ll be fine.”

Yeah, not so much. It turned into a runny soupy mess. It still tasted fine but the texture was completely off and not easy to eat.

To mix it up, try some fun add-ins like Coconut, or maybe mini chocolate chips!

So while this recipe is easy to make, it’s not foolproof. But still definitely worth the try!
