Description

 A creamy, dreamy no-bake dessert that tastes just like the classic orange creamsicle! With fluffy Cool Whip, juicy mandarin oranges, and mini marshmallows, this Jell-O salad is perfect for potlucks, BBQs, or a sweet summer treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 box (3 oz) orange Jell-O

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1/2 cup cold water

  • 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

  • 1 can (14 oz) mandarin oranges, drained

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows


Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jell-O: In a large bowl, whisk orange Jell-O with boiling water until fully dissolved.

  2. Chill: Add cold water and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  3. Thicken: Whisk in vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Chill 15–20 minutes until slightly thickened (like pudding).

  4. Fold: Gently stir in Cool Whip, mandarin oranges, and marshmallows.

  5. Set: Refrigerate 1+ hour before serving.


Notes

  • Make ahead: Prepare up to 24 hours in advance.

  • Variations: Swap oranges for pineapple tidbits or add coconut flakes.

  • Lighter option: Use sugar-free Jell-O and fat-free Cool Whip.
