Steps:
- First things first. Put your pineapple and oranges in the frig for at least 12 hours. Also, make your Dream Whip ahead of time and let it get cold. Open your Mandarin Oranges and cut each segment in half. Drain the juice from the oranges and pineapple thoroughly. If you do it right, you should get the 2 cups you need for the jello. Drain the liquid from your cottage cheese using a strainer. Heat up 2 cups water and pour it in a very large bowl. Stir in jello mix and then cold liquid from the fruit. Let it set in the frig about 2-3 hours. Remove from frig and mix in the other ingredients in this order. First the fruit. Then you add the mini marshmallows and Dream Whip. Let it set a little more. Then you add the cottage cheese. Mix well between each addition. Let it set overnight. Enjoy.
Tips:
