Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

1 box (0.3 oz) sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor: strawberry, lime, or orange)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water

Dairy Ingredients

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for smoother texture)

Topping & Flavoring

½ cup fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping
½ tsp vanilla or almond extract (optional)
Pinch pink salt (optional, enhances sweetness)

Instructions

Dissolve Gelatin: Pour the sugar-free gelatin powder into a medium bowl and add the boiling water. Stir continuously for 2 minutes to ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Add Cold Water: Mix in the cold water, stirring again to combine. Let the mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
Blend with Dairy: Pour the gelatin mixture into a blender along with the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture becomes silky smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Whipped Topping: Transfer the blended mixture into a large bowl. Gently fold in the fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping using a spatula until just combined, maintaining the fluffiness.
Chill and Set: Spoon the fluff mixture into serving cups or jars. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until the dessert is firm and set.
Serve: Serve the Bariatric Jello Fluff cold for a refreshing and creamy dessert experience.

Notes

Using Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese results in a smoother texture.
Optional vanilla or almond extract can enhance flavor complexity.
Adding a pinch of pink salt helps to boost and balance sweetness.
Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
Chill for the full recommended time for best firmness.
