Have you ever made this with cream cheese instead of cottage cheese? It's fantastic.......just add a softened cake (8 oz.) of cream cheese to the jello while it's still hot from the boiling water....mash it with a fork, to break it up. Then add the cold water and remailing ingrediants. It make's the salad even creamier. Try it, and let me know what you think!

OMG, I havn't seen this recipe in over 30 years! My Aunt use to make it every Sunday during Lent, because she always gave up sweets, but she never considered this a sweet (ha ha). It always was delish!!! Thanks for sharing and the memories..........

This is a dessert that has been prepared in my family for well over 50 years, of course that was before Cool Whip which just made it so much easier to make. Every holiday my Great Granny would fix this, she also added mini marshmellows, cut it into square and put a cherry on the top of each square. I've changed it a bit and made it with all sugar or fat free items and it's still just as tasty
