"Surprise"

Yes. That is what this is titled on the recipe card in Mom's own cursive. I found it funny that the only way she could get me to eat Cottage Cheese was with this recipe titled, "Surprise".

1 small container cool whip
1 small container cottage cheese
1 small package Jello
1 small can crushed pineapple with juice
nuts

Stir together. Let set in refrigerator overnight.

Marshmellow Refrigerator Loaf

I must add first that I never recall my mom making this dessert. By the sound of it, I wish she had!! This looks so yummy!

1/2 lb. quartered or tiny marshmellows
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 chopped dates
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Pour water over marshmellows. Add whipping cream, nuts, dates and blend well. Add graham cracker crumbs and knead well. Form into roll about 6 inches long and 3 inches thick. Place in loaf pan. Let stand over night. Serve in slices topped with whipped cream.
