Categories     Easy Side Dishes

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water
6 oz Orange Jello Mix
3 ounce instant vanilla pudding
11 ounce can Mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 of a 20 ounce can of Pineapple chunks, drained
One 8 ounce container cool whip

Steps:

  • Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Tips:

  • If you don't have fresh mandarins, you can use canned mandarin oranges. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of orange liqueur for an extra boost of citrus flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the mandarins with a fork or potato masher. Just be sure to remove any seeds before mashing.
  • Serve the mandarin dessert immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
