Jello fluff

A co-worker brought Jello fluff to our company picnic last year. After having a large helping, of course I had to have the recipe. Amazingly when I asked for it the next day, she just scribbled it down on a piece of paper at our office. 4 Ingredients. Wow! I can do that. The best part about this recipe? Customizable flavors. Don’t like the strawberry flavor in my photos? That’s fine, choose another from the list below.

 

Pin for later!

Detailed instructions for Jello fluff:

Step 1:

Jello fluff step 1

Mix fruit and cool whip in a large container.

Step 2:

Mix in Jello to the cool whip/fruit mixture- note the grainy texture of the fluff. That is the jello packet that has not “melted” yet.

Jello fluff step 2

Step 3:

Mix in the cottage cheese- then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (to let the Jello “melt”)

Jello fluff step 3

Step 4:

Remove from refrigerator, give a good mix and enjoy!

Flavoring options:

My recipe is using strawberry jello and fresh diced strawberries, but here are some more flavor options to consider:

  • Peach jello and canned diced peaches
  • Orange jello and mandarin oranges  (my co-worker’s favorite)
  • Pineapple jello and pineapple tidbits (with optional shredded coconut)
  • Raspberry jello and halved raspberries
  • Mango jello and diced mango

    Gotta love recipes with just four ingredients, and one that is so easy to make, too! This would be fun to make with kids.
