It's summer time, which means that picnic season is in full swing. So, what's a girl to bring to the party? Today, it's lemon blueberry cloud, a fluffy and fruity summer dessert.
A few notes - I like to play around with recipes a lot, substituting in one type of fruit or flavoring for another. So, if you're not a fan of lemon or blueberry, this recipe can easily be modified to accommodate the flavors you do have a taste for. Also, don't be afraid to use the sugar free, fat free, or reduced fat versions of the cottage cheese, whipped topping, and gelatin if that's what you prefer (that's what I use).
Lemon Blueberry Cloud (enough for a picnic / potluck)
1 16 oz. container cottage cheese (small curd)
1 box (4 serving size) lemon-flavored gelatin [or 1-2 boxes of your favorite flavor]
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 quart blueberries [or 3-4 cups fresh or frozen fruit, or 1-2 15 oz. cans, drained]
1 8oz. container whipped topping, thawed
1. In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese and gelatin powder until thoroughly blended.
2. Add miniature marshmallows and 3 cups blueberries (reserve remainder of quart for garnish). Stir until marshmallows and blueberries are well coated.
3. Fold in whipped topping and mix gently until well blended. Do not overmix!
4. Top with remaining blueberries and additional miniature marshmallows. Cover and chill for several hours or until picnic time.
