Creamsicle Orange Fluff: A Creamy Citrus Delight
Creamsicle Orange Fluff is a creamy, citrusy dessert that combines the bright flavor of orange Jell-O with creamy Cool Whip, tangy mandarin oranges, and sweet marshmallows. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or as a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 1 box Orange Jell-O
- 1 box instant vanilla cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 1 small can mandarin oranges drained
- 1 cup pastel-colored miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat 1 cup of water until boiling. Pour 1 box of Orange Jell-O powder into a large mixing bowl. Stir the powder into the boiling water with a whisk for about 2 minutes, ensuring no granules remain.
- Mix in ½ cup of cold water to the dissolved Jell-O. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened but not fully set.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and add 1 box of instant vanilla cheesecake pudding mix. Stir the pudding mix into the Jell-O until smooth and creamy. Return to the refrigerator for another 20 minutes to thicken further.
- Drain a small can of mandarin oranges and measure out 1 cup of pastel-colored mini marshmallows. Gently fold 8 ounces of Cool Whip into the thickened mixture until smooth. Carefully fold in the drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows to avoid breaking the orange segments.
- Place the mixture back in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Top with extra mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, or fresh mint leaves if desired. Scoop into bowls or dessert plates and enjoy.
Notes
For an extra citrus boost, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the mix. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
