This retro Orange Fluff Salad combines orange Jell-O with vanilla pudding, whipped cream, mandarin oranges, and miniature marshmallows.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (3 oz.) regular orange Jell-O gelatin mix ((Note 1))
  • 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup boiling & 1/2 cup cold water (one cup boiling water, 1/2 cup cold water)
  • 1 container (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, (thawed (Note 2))
  • 1 can (15 oz.) mandarin oranges, (well drained)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

  1. 1

    JELL-O: Place the dry orange Jell-O mix in a large bowl. Pour in 1 cup boiling water and use a whisk to briskly whisk until all the mix is dissolved. Once fully dissolved, pour in 1/2 cup cold water. Use a spatula to scrape around the sides of the bowl so no Jell-O granules are sticking there. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    PUDDING: After 15 minutes, remove Jell-O from the fridge. Add in vanilla pudding mix and use a whisk to briskly whisk together until well combined. Use a spatula again to scrape along the sides. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    FINISH SALAD: After 20 minutes, remove salad and use a spatula to gently fold in the marshmallows and thawed whipped topping. Once incorporated fully, add in the well-drained oranges. Gently fold through. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely chilled through and nicely thickened. Enjoy right out of the fridge and return leftovers promptly to the fridge.
