Mandarin Orange Jello Dessert September 10, 2010

Tonight for dessert I made a recipe my mom has been making for years. It is super simple with four ingredients — a packet of orange jello, 8 ounces of Cool Whip, 16 ounces of cottage cheese, and a large can of mandarin oranges. Let the Cool Whip sit out at room temperature so it’s easy to work with and be sure to drain the juice from the mandarin oranges. If you are serving this, save a few oranges to display on top. Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to eat. It is so light and airy! I’m super glad I thought of this tonight because I was seriously considering making cheesecake, and well this is a much healthier option. Almost just as good too :)
