Dreamsicle In A Cup

Dreamsicle In A Cup

Does anyone remember Dreamsicles? Those wonderful frozen confections of rich vanilla ice cream surrounded by an orange Popsicle coating? I’m not talking about 50/50 bars but the real Dreamsicle that was so smooth and sweet on the tongue and taste buds, summer just was not complete without them.

Here is a new version I call Dreamsicle in a Cup and for those of us who are diet conscious it can be made with sugar free, non fat and low fat products as well.

2/3 cup  boiling water

1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Orange Gelatin

1 cup Cottage Cheese

1 tub (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened

2 cups  COOL WHIP, thawed

Additional Equipment:

Blender

Large Bowl

Rubber Spatula

Whisk

Dessert cups (I use 9 oz clear solo cups)

STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved.

Cool 5 min.; pour cottage cheese and about half of the  cooled jello into blender, blend until smooth.

Add remaining jello and cream cheese cut into chunks; blend well.

Pour into large bowl.

Gently stir in whipped topping.

Stir into prepared cup or bowl.

smooth top by tapping cup on counter or table top gently.
