DO I HAVE TO USE COTTAGE CHEESE IN ORANGE FLUFF?
small-curd cottage cheese
orange Jell-O
can of mandarin oranges
whipped topping (COOL WHIP)
mini marshmallows
chopped pecans
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE ORANGE FLUFF:
Combine container of cottage cheese with the orange jell-o packet. Stir until well mixed. Add in the well-drained can of mandarin oranges and the tub of Cool Whip. Stir. Now stir in the marshmallows and pecans. Store in the refrigerator and allow to get nice and cool. If you were to eat it right away, it would taste grainy from the Jell-O. But give it at least a couple of hours and the flavors will really come together and blend nicely. This is definitely a dessert you can make the day before you need it.

I LOVE this dessert!! I will now add some pecans and enjoy every bite. My taste buds are telling me this is the dish for today. 🙂
I've definitely heard of it before but never seen a recipe. Plus, your picture makes it all the more mouth-watering. 🙂 Thanks!
Like Sydney, I've heard of it, seen it, but have never seen a recipe for it. Looks like a nice light one to have at the ready. Thanks for posting.
Mmmmm Brandie this looks so refreshing! Yummo!
It's funny. This is a bit like what my Scottish family used to make when I was a kid and they called it "Jelly Whip" but there was no cottage cheese, marshmallows, pecans... OK I'll start again. Never seen anything like this before and it looks fabulous, Brandie!
Oh wow this looks so good. It sounds so fresh and delightful 🙂
Well this one is new to me, you got that right, and it looks really good!
I will have to try it because I love all those sweet flavors!:)
My MIL makes a salad with apricot jello, cool whip and crushed pineapple. I probably would have ignored the recipe if I'd seen it, but after trying it, I became a huge fan. I know I'd feel the same after eating yours...and the more fruit the better!!!!
Brandie, I've not come across this recipe so thank you for sharing. Love the lower calorie content, the color AND the light-behind-the-glass angle of your shot! So sherbet-like I can taste the mandarins now...
I love this! We usually don't have many family gatherings without this as part of the meal! Thanks for sharing!

That looks really delicious! YUM
Adam's mother absolutely LOVES this desert and also calls it the Weight Watchers dessert. We get it for her at our local grocery store but it's much more fun, and probably tastier, too, to make it at home. Thanks for this my MIL will be thrilled.
I make a similar dessert with lime jello, pineapple, marshmallows, and Cool whip. I'll have to try your gorgeous version. Great pics.
I am with Siggy Spice not a fan of cottage cheese. I will have to try it. If it is yummy and low calorie, I will be making it all the time.
This looks so pretty and also very tempting! My family would really like this. I may even try that pineapple version 🙂
The picture on Facebook for this did NOT do your recipe justice. I couldn't see it very well so I came here and NOW I know what you're talking about. I'm glad to finally have this recipe! Something like this was a family favorite for our holiday gatherings. I think this would be great to introduce to my son!
What a great alternative to ice cream!
My in law family makes this, the first I had ever had it was with them, except they call it pink stuff. She uses pink jello and both pineapple and mandarin oranges, yours looks so much more appetizing... Lol!
I LOVE love love this dessert! The only time I've ever had it was when I went to church functions. My mom never knew how. Now I'll be able to make it myself. Many thanks!
i tried it once but never thought it's so easy to make and contains cottage cheese
thanks for sharing Brandie
My mom makes something similar for our Easter dinner with ham, but funny how i have never thought of it as a dessert. I will certainly suggest this recipe to her as I'm sure she'd love it!
I love cottage cheese! Never had this before. I love mandarin oranges, so I can imagine I'd like this. I like recipes that travel well too. Hope you are having a great week!
