Orange Dreamsicle Salad

by

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 package (3 oz) orange gelatin (Jell-O)
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding base:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
  2. Mix in the orange gelatin:
    Sprinkle the orange gelatin powder directly into the pudding mixture and stir until fully combined.
  3. Fold in whipped topping:
    Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add fruits and marshmallows:
    Stir in the drained mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows.
  5. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
  6. Serve:
    Serve cold as a refreshing dessert or sweet side dish!
