Description:

This delightful Coconut Pineapple Cottage Cheese Ring recipe hails from a cherished 1977 paperback by Borden, aptly titled โ€œIntroducing Cottage Cheese.โ€ A testament to the timeless appeal of cottage cheese, this recipe features a symphony of flavors, enhanced by the tropical sweetness of pineapple and the nutty richness of coconut. A simple yet elegant dessert, perfect for any occasion, from brunch gatherings to satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 packet flavored gelatin (your choice)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Gelatin Mixture:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the pineapple juice over medium heat until itโ€™s warm.
    • Sprinkle the flavored gelatin over the warm pineapple juice, stirring continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Set aside to cool.
  2. Combine Cottage Cheese and Coconut:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and flaked coconut.
    • Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Incorporate Gelatin Mixture:

    • Once the gelatin mixture has cooled, pour it into the bowl with the cottage cheese and coconut mixture.
    • Stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Assemble the Ring:

    • Lightly oil a gelatin mold to prevent sticking.
    • Carefully pour the prepared mixture into the mold, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  5. Chill:

    • Place the filled mold in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.
  6. Unmold and Serve:

    • Once set, remove the gelatin mold from the refrigerator.
    • Gently loosen the edges of the ring with a knife.
    • Place a serving plate over the mold, then quickly and carefully invert both to release the gelatin ring onto the plate.
  7. Enjoy:

    • Serve your Coconut Pineapple Cottage Cheese Ring chilled and garnish with additional coconut flakes or fresh pineapple slices if desired.
    • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to several days.
