1 (16 oz) container fat-free cottage cheese
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (1 oz) package sugar-free orange gelatin mix (like Jello)

Mix Cottage Cheese and Gelatin:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cottage cheese with the sugar-free orange gelatin mix. Stir until the gelatin mix is fully dissolved into the cottage cheese.
Add Fruit:
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges. Mix everything well to ensure the fruit is evenly distributed.
Fold in Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in the fat-free whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix so that the whipped topping stays fluffy.
Chill:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Orange Fluff for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to set.
Serve:
Serve chilled. You can garnish with extra mandarin orange slices or a sprinkle of orange zest if desired.
