Creamy Orange Mix (Print)

This mousse-textured orange dish combines mandarin slices and silky pudding. Just like a spoonable creamy Dreamsicle.

# Ingredients:

01 - 6-ounce pack of orange-flavored gelatin.
02 - Two 3-ounce packs of vanilla pudding you cook on the stove.
03 - 4 cups of boiling water.
04 - An 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip topping.
05 - 16-ounce can of mandarin oranges, drained.

# Steps:

01 - Stir together the orange gelatin, pudding mix, and boiling water in a big pot.
02 - Heat the mixture while stirring until it boils and becomes a bright orange color. This should take about 5 minutes.
03 - Transfer to a large bowl and pop it in the fridge. Let it set for at least 4 hours, or leave it overnight.
04 - Use a potato masher to mix the Cool Whip into the chilled gelatin mix until blended well.
05 - Carefully fold in the drained mandarin orange pieces. Store in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

# Notes:

01 - Don't swap for instant pudding mix.
02 - Needs a minimum of 4 hours to set properly.
03 - Works great as either a sweet treat or a side.
