Was something left out of this recipe? The milk is powder and so is the drink mix. The food coloring is the only liquid in there to"blend on high speed until blended" Don't you need some kind of liquid in there? Or did I miss something?

There is 1 1/4 cups cold water used with the gelatin. 

it does call for 1 1/4 cups of water

I have never been able to fix

gelatin correctly

yes. the recipe sounds great but i don't know what soft drink mix is either. is it like crystal light?

yes, I think it would be a drink mix like crystal light.

I would use regular lemonade from Koolaid etc.

 I think I'm missing something . . . One half cup water is used in the first paragraph to dissolve the gelatin. The second paragraph calls for mixing the milk, drink mix, food coloring, salt and beating. There is no liquid other than the food coloring.  The next step calls for using the "remaining water" (3/4 cups?) and processing it with the cottage cheese. 

When is the milk powder recontituted and how much water is used?

Help! Someone needs to re-write the instructions so we can understand what to do. Is the DRY milk mixed with the drink mix and food coloring? I'm a seasoned cook and am familiar with cooking instructions, but this is really confusing. In this day and age we don't want to waste ingredients. Thank you.

I too would like to know what liquid and how much is to be mixed with the dry milk, drink mix, food coloring and salt. 1/2 a cup is used for the gelatin and the remainder is used for the cottage cheese. I must have missed something.

I had to read the recipe again, (slowly), the second time and then everything made sense. After mixing the water with the cottage cheese, you will then add the dry ingredients and the gelatin to that which is going to be creamy. I would use Kool-Aid also.
