Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) Orange gelatin (Jell-O)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 8 oz Frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 11 oz Canned mandarin oranges, drained
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes until it cools slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken slightly as you stir.
Step 4
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and creamy.
Step 5
Add the drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows, carefully folding them into the mixture to avoid breaking the oranges.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the salad is set and chilled.
Step 7
Serve cold, garnished with additional mandarin oranges or a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
