Ingredients  

• 1 box orange Jell-O
• 1 box instant vanilla cheesecake pudding
• 1 cup boiling water
• ½ cup cold water
• 1 8-oz tub Cool Whip, thawed
• 11 oz canned mandarin oranges drained
• 1 ½ cups mini pastel marshmallows

Optional garnish:

extra mandarin oranges marshmallows, fresh mint

Method 

Dissolve the Jell-O:

1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the orange Jell-O and add 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk until completely dissolved.

Add cold water & chill:

1. Stir in ½ cup cold water. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes to allow the mixture to slightly set.

Mix in pudding:

1. Once chilled, add the instant vanilla cheesecake pudding mix to the Jell-O. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Chill again for 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Fold in fluff ingredients:

1. Gently fold in the Cool Whip, drained mandarin oranges, and mini marshmallows until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix—you want to keep it light and fluffy.

Chill before serving:

1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up.

Garnish & serve:

1. Before serving, optionally garnish with a few extra mandarin orange slices, marshmallows, or a sprig of fresh mint for a festive touch.
2. Enjoy!
