JELLO: We usestrawberryjello butraspberry jello(or really any fruity flavoredgelatin) will work. Choose something red or pink for thisrecipe.
COTTAGE CHEESE:We lovecottage cheesein this salad (and even those who don’t care forcottage cheeselove it). You can substitute cream cheeseorcool whip.

Jello Salad RecipeTips:
- Any type of fresh berries can be used in thisrecipe. You will need a total of ~4 cups of fresh mixed berries.
- When combining thecottage cheesewith the jello powder, mix with a hand mixer to make the consistency of thecottage cheesea little bit smoother. Mix with a spoon if you prefer more texture.
- Refrigerate before serving to allow theflavorsto blend and thicken the fluff.
- I have tested this with freshly whipped cream and while it is delicious, it doesn’t set up as well.
