Notes
Can I use sugar-free Jello?
Yes, you can. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve had readers who do, and sugar free Jello seems to work just fine. If you’re trying to cut sugar or fat, you can even substitute sugar free Cool Whip and low fat cottage cheese.
How long will Jello salad with cottage cheese last?
It usually lasts about 2-3 days, so it is possible to make this a day in advance. It does need to be covered or put in an airtight container, then stored in the fridge.
