Orange Dreamsicle Salad
Ingredients:
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (3.4 oz) box orange gelatin (Jell-O) mix
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Directions:
Make the Gelatin Base:
In a large bowl, combine the orange gelatin mix and boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Add cold water to the mixture and stir. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the gelatin starts to thicken but is not fully set.
Prepare the Pudding:
In a separate bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
Combine Ingredients:
Gently fold the pudding mixture into the thickened gelatin.
Add the drained crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.
Chill and Serve:
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
