Description

Delight in the nostalgic flavors of Orange Dreamsicle Salad, a creamy, citrusy dessert perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or as a refreshing no-bake treat on warm days. This quick and easy recipe combines orange Jell-O, vanilla pudding, and Cool Whip for a dreamy combination of textures and flavors.

 


Ingredients

  • 1 box orange Jell-O
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 Cool Whip (8 oz.)
  • 1 can mandarin oranges (14 oz.), drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together orange Jell-O and boiling water until fully dissolved.
  2. Add cold water, stir, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill slightly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Return to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Gently fold in Cool Whip, mandarin oranges, and mini marshmallows until well combined.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Drain mandarin oranges thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Customize by adding pineapple chunks, maraschino cherries, or crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • For a sugar-free version, substitute sugar-free Jell-O and pudding mix.
