I usually make it the night before I serve it. Lime Jell-O was used by my grandma.

Ingredients

1 large package or 2 small packages Jell-O, any flavor
1 can crushed pineapple, in juice
1 small tub Cool Whip or other whipped topping
1 small tub cottage cheese

Directions

Empty can of crushed pineapple into saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Stir in Jell-O until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
While cooling - mix cool whip and cottage cheese together.
After cooling - stir Jell-O/pineapple mixture into cool whip/cottage cheese mixture. Mix until well mixed.
May be left in the mixing bowl or pour into a Jell-O Mold or pour into a decorative bowl.
Chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

I have made it with many flavors of Jell-O. Orange, grape, banana/strawberry, strawberry. They all work well. Orange tastes like a dreamsicle. Lime and strawberry make pretty green and red. Perfect for the holidays. If you have the time, you can make lime, let it cool in a clear bowl, then make strawberry, and pour it over the lime. Most people think it is a desert. It doesn't have to be.
