Ingredients:

1 cup cottage cheese (pureed until smooth)
1 box (3 oz) orange Jell-O mix
1 container (8 oz) thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip or TruWhip)
1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Cottage Cheese: Puree the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.
Mix Jell-O and Cottage Cheese: In a large bowl, whisk together the pureed cottage cheese and dry Jell-O mix until fully combined.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
Add Mandarin Oranges and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges and marshmallows (if using) to evenly distribute.

Serve: Garnish with whipped cream and fresh orange slices, if desired. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

Smooth Texture: Pureeing the cottage cheese ensures a creamy texture without any curds.
Sweetness Level: Canned mandarin oranges are typically packed in light syrup, which enhances sweetness. If using fresh oranges, consider adding a bit of honey or sugar if needed.
Make Ahead: This dessert can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
Customization: Try swapping out the orange Jell-O for pineapple, lemon, or strawberry flavors for a fun twist!
