Orange Delight

Combine container of cottage cheese with the orange Jello packet. Stir until well mixed.

Add in the well-drained can of mandarin oranges and the tub of Cool Whip. Stir.

Now stir in the marshmallows and nuts. Store in the refrigerator and allow to get nice and cool. If you were to eat it right away, it would taste grainy from the Jello. But give it at least a couple of hours and the flavors will really come together and blend nicely.

Definitely a dessert you can make the day before.

Cook’s Tip: Don’t let the cottage cheese keep you from trying this; you don’t really taste it in the dessert. It just adds texture. Also, try adding some chopped pineapple in there too or use walnuts instead of pecans. I’ve seen a few variations on this over the years (some folks call it Orange Fluff) and it’s a nice little recipe to play around with based on your family’s taste.
