Berry Fluff Jello Salad

We love that it needs just minutes of prep and is as pretty as it is delicious!

How to Make Jell-o Salad

Although some Jell-o salads are made in a jello mold, this one is more like a fluff (similar to ambrosia salad). It’s rich, creamy, and dreamy.

A Pretty in Pink Jello Salad

Jello fruit salad needs just minutes to prep.
This is best made ahead of time making it potluck perfect.
No cooking required.
Full of fresh berries and it is delicious.
A vintage recipe that has stood the test of time!
Rinse the berries and dry well. Slice strawberries if needed.
Combine cottage cheese and jello powder in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in remaining ingredients and refrigerate.

Ingredients in Jello Salad

JELLO: We use strawberry jello but raspberry jello (or really any fruity flavored gelatin) will work. Choose something red or pink for this recipe.

COTTAGE CHEESE: We love cottage cheese in this salad (and even those who don’t care for cottage cheese love it). You can substitute cream cheese or cool whip.

FRUIT: Fresh berries are perfect in this recipe, use one kind or many kinds of berries if you can. Sometimes we do just sliced strawberries for a strawberry jello salad.

Variations

Flavors: Try other flavors of jello and fruits like orange, pineapple or cherry.
Additions: Add in your favorites from pecans to sliced bananas.
Looking to lighten this recipe up a little bit? You can use sugar-free in this recipe and choose low fat whipped topping and cottage cheese.

Jello Salad Recipe Tips:

Any type of fresh berries can be used in this recipe. You will need a total of ~4 cups of fresh mixed berries.
When combining the cottage cheese with the jello powder, mix with a hand mixer to make the consistency of the cottage cheese a little bit smoother. Mix with a spoon if you prefer more texture.
Refrigerate before serving to allow the flavors to blend and thicken the fluff.
I have tested this with freshly whipped cream and while it is delicious, it doesn’t set up as well.
You can freeze jello salad and serve it frozen in squares (like we do with our Cherry Fluff Salad)

This fluffy jello fruit salad can be served as a side dish or as a dessert. I love to spoon it on angel food cake as a topping too!
