Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip or whipped topping
- 1 (3 oz) package peach (or orange) Jell-O
- 2 (14 oz) cans sliced peaches, drained and chopped (reserve 2 Tbsp syrup)
- 1 (8 oz) container small-curd cottage cheese
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chopped pecans, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.

- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let flavors meld.
- Before serving, gently stir in chopped pecans, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.

- For best texture, drain peaches well and add reserved syrup for extra peach flavor.
- Mix pecans right before serving to retain crunch.
- Keep covered and refrigerated; leftovers stay fresh 3–4 days.
- For variation, use orange jello, add crushed pineapple, or substitute walnuts or coconut.
