Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 package (3 oz) cherry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup cottage cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the cherry Jell-O in boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add the cold water and mix well.
- Let the Jell-O mixture cool for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature, but do not let it fully set.
- Fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined, creating a fluffy texture.
- Gently stir in the mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple, cottage cheese (if using), and chopped maraschino cherries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or until set).
- Stir before serving and garnish with extra cherries or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute strawberry or raspberry Jell-O for a different fruity twist.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese before adding it.
- For extra crunch, mix in chopped pecans or walnuts.
- This can be made a day ahead – it actually tastes better after chilling overnight!
