Recipe from Carol...her daughter gave her the recipe and the kids love it!

Cheese Jello

1 regular box of Lime Jello (instant) (or generic or store brand or

Royal brand)

1 regular container of Cool Whip (or generic equivalent)

1 pint of small curd cottage cheese (not the wet kind)

1 can of crushed pineapple

(By regular, I mean the most frequently found size of that particular

item since I can't remember how many ounces it is.)



Mix the cottage cheese and cool whip together. Drain the crushed

pineapple of most of the juice. Stir in the Lime gelatin, stirring

thoroughly so the powder is distributed evenly and begins to thicken

the entire mixture. Then stir the pineapple through the

cheese/whip/<WBR>jello mixture. Eventually, it should all be stiff enough

to not fall off a spoon that is turned upside down (don't test this

over the floor - it's not foolproof!) If you want, mix it all in the

bowl you plan to serve it in since it's nicer looking at that point

than removed and put into a new bowl.



Alternative flavorings can be used:

Orange jello and mandarin oranges

Cherry or raspberry jello and fruit cocktail

Strawberry jello and chopped strawberries



Just remember to drain the fruits - the juices will dilute the mixture

and make it runny. If your kids aren't milk drinkers, but you want to

get more dairy in them, this might just work. You can cut the sugar

content by using sugar-free gelatin mixes and natural or "light"

canned fruits.
