Sugar Free Orange Jello Salad
Description
This salad incorporates sugar-free orange gelatin dissolved into lightly whipped heavy cream, creating a smooth and airy base. Cottage cheese adds creaminess and mild tang, while drained mandarin oranges and pineapple tidbits provide juicy citrus flavors and texture contrast.
Chopped pecans contribute crunch and a touch of earthiness. The gelatin sets the salad upon chilling, giving it a cohesive, creamy texture.
Preparation involves chilling the mixing bowl and beaters to optimize cream whipping and gently folding the ingredients together to maintain lightness. The salad is served chilled, making it a cool complement to richer meals.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 orange flavored gelatin 7 ounces, sugar free
- 1 cottage cheese 16 ounces, small curd
- 1 mandarin oranges 11 ounces, drained
- 1 pineapple tidbits 8 ounces, drained
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Place large glass or stainless steel bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes.
- Add the whipping cream to the mixing bowl and begin beating on low speed.
- Slowly incorporate the orange gelatin when the whipping cream begins to thicken. Increase speed when it is safe to do so (without the splatter). Mix in all the gelatin.
- Fold in cottage cheese, drained mandarin oranges and pineapple. Add nuts.
Notes
- If the fruit is wet, pat it dry with paper towels before folding it into the whipped cream mixture to avoid excess moisture.
