Cottage Cheese Jello Fruit Salad Recipe

This surprisingly delicious Cottage Cheese Jello Fruit Salad is a versatile and easy-to-customize dessert! The creamy cottage cheese blends perfectly with the fruity jello and your choice of fresh or canned fruits. Control the creaminess with the amount of cool whip – more for extra richness, less for a fruitier flavor profile. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or any occasion! Easily adapt it for Christmas (green jello & cherries), Halloween (orange jello & mandarin oranges), or any other celebration with your favorite colors and fruits.
