This was great! I made it low cal/low sugar. I used sugar free Jell-o, pineapple in it's own juice, sugar free cool whip, and 1% low fat cottage cheese. Tried to fine Mandarian oranges in it's own juice but could only find light syrup. I was very carefull to squeeze the juice from the crushed pineapple as everyone mentioned. I must have did a good job because it wasn't runny at all. Next time I think I might try a little less cool whip and perhaps some chopped pecans. I highly recommend this recipe for the orange/pineapple lovers.

I tweaked this recipe as well. 16 oz cottage cheese, sf orange jello, only 1/2 the tub of cool whip and a dash of vanilla extract. I wanted my protein content higher and not as sweet as the whole tub of topping would have been. Tasted like a creamsicle! Yummy and a keeper.

Be sure you really squeeze the moisture out of the pinneapple, if not it can be a little runny. I made that mistake on my first try too.

This was VERY good and tasty.. mine came out kinda runny(i don't know what I did wrong..LOL) but it was still good and the kids really liked it and they DO NOT like cottage cheese and they didnt even know it was in there. a very good way to hide cottage cheese!!!
