Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (3 ounces/85 grams) orange Jell-O
- 1 box (3.4 ounces/96 grams) instant vanilla pudding
- 1 tub (8 ounces/227 grams) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 can (14 ounces/397 grams) mandarin oranges, drained
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
Texture Enhancers:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and vigorously blend the vibrant orange Jell-O powder with steaming water until completely integrated.
- Introduce chilled liquid and transfer the mixture to the refrigerator, allowing it to cool and partially solidify for approximately quarter of an hour.
- Incorporate the vanilla pudding mix, whisking thoroughly until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Return to the chilled environment and let it develop a pudding-like texture over 15-20 minutes.
- Delicately fold the whipped topping into the gelatin base, creating soft, billowing swirls that seamlessly integrate the creamy element.
- Gently introduce mandarin orange segments, distributing them evenly throughout the developing dessert structure.
- Sprinkle miniature marshmallows across the surface, ensuring they are distributed with a light touch to maintain the dessert’s airy texture.
- Transfer the concoction to the refrigeration unit and allow it to set completely, giving the flavors time to meld and the texture to stabilize for at least one hour before serving.
- Just prior to presentation, consider garnishing with additional mandarin segments or a light dusting of zest for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by using freshly squeezed orange juice instead of water for more vibrant citrus notes.
- Customize texture by adjusting marshmallow amounts, creating a lighter or denser dessert depending on preference.
- Swap Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a more natural, less processed topping that adds rich creaminess.
- Create a gluten-free version by ensuring pudding mix and all ingredients are certified gl
