Some recipes call for mixing dry jello with the cottage cheese or cool whip. See a similar recipe (Fluffy Strawberry Jello Salad) with detailed instructions at JamieCooksItUp.net which adds the partially set jello to a bowl with the other ingredients already mixed. Can also be done with no water see Heavenly Hash - Recipe - Cooks.com Lemon Lime Jello Salad (Mrs. Jerpe, from Jean McBride) | |

Jello guidelines: Jell-O® usually takes a minimum of two hours to set if placed in a refrigerator. The setting process for Jell-O depends greatly on the temperature at which the Jell-O is stored after mixing. Cooler temperatures will result in a faster setting Jell-O. Adding a couple of ice cubes instead of cold water can also help speed the Jell-O's setting. Adding any fruit or vegetables will cause the Jell-O to take longer to set. For best results, allow the Jell-O to set overnight, especially when adding fruit or vegetables. (You could also put it in the freezer, but it will tend to cool unevenly; some will freeze and that will ruin the texture.)
Sugar free JELL-O works perfectly in the place of regular JELL-O.
Sugar takes up more room than artificial sweetener so the sugar free gelatin packet will not have the same volume of contents. e.g. 0.6 oz vs 6 oz.
