Jello For the sweet tooth:
- Lime diet jello: Two packages to three cups water with a scoop of cottage cheese
- Two packages to three cups water, chilled until thickened but not set and one-third cup of whipping cream whipped into the jello until it has a souffle consistency. Makes six servings
- Orange diet jello: Prepare as above, but add one-half teaspoon of vanilla and one-quarter teaspoon of almond extract along with whipping cream. Chill until set.
