Thread: Foo Foo Fluff

Sorry about the Title..
But that is what My Daddy called it when he made it for my Step Mom who was dying of Cancer , back in 1984.

Mom couldn't chew or swallow pills very well, but was supposed to get Calcium down her and fruits, she was tired of Applesauce and pureed baby food stuff.
So Daddy made her a Concoction that she actually loved and ate and it helped keep up her strength the last year .

Basic Recipe.
For ( 4-8 people) for less people use Small packages. And Double it for Pot Lucks or Groups.


1) Large container of Small Curd Cottage Cheese

1) Large package of Jello type powdered mix. Do not Make the Jello. Just use the Powdered form ..

Some ...Fresh or Canned/ Frozen Fruit ( Drain Fruit if Canned or Frozen)

1) Container of Whipped Cream product like Cool Whip. ( in the Tub kind not Spray can )

Add the Jello pack and Cottage Cheese to a Bowl. Mix with spoon, then get out the Mixer !


Taste for Texture.

Some don't like the Cottage Cheese texture, especially kids.
iI still a bit " Grainy or dry "Textured, Go another minute. or 2...

Finally...
Add the whipped cream make your own or the cool whip kind ,
to the bowl .Mix for 1-2 minutes, med or low, then add Fruit, on Low if canned or frozen, Medium if Fresh fruit.

Of Course serve Chilled..

The awesome thing about this is You can do any Flavor Jello makes.

From Strawberry, Cherry, Orange to Lime or Blue Raspberry .
It's a Rainbow of Flavors and Colors. And you can use Diet flavors/ no sugar, lite creams,for those who have Diabetes or Dieting.

Kids love it, they Don't know they are getting Calcium from Cottage "Yuck "Cheese,
It is Sweet but not too Sweet, it has Fruit in it. It's Healthy & supports a Visual attractiveness to foods that some people/ kids just won't eat.

Every Function that I go to that has a Pot Luck, I bring the Foo Foo Fluff. It never lasts long as people are Interested. I don't tell them how it's made until they actually ask " Whats in this " .

And I usually get a " I hate Cottage Cheese or My Kids won't eat Cottage Cheese ".
Well they Love it Now !! lol

Oh and it's called Foo Foo Fluff, because when Mom was Passing, Daddy would ask her what she wanted to eat or if she needed anything ?

Her last Foo Foo Fluff ?
She had Lemon Foo Foo Fluff . Because she said "the Food,Fruit that is Fluffy " or what we Understood, And she really wasn't a Sour Puss, she just loved Lemons.

This sounds great! I will have to try it!!

Though it will be awhile till I can try it. I am studying abroad at the moment, and won't be back home till July or August.
But I will definitely save this to my computer(with the history behind it included. I find it really sweet! It definitely gives it some meaning)
