Orange Delight Jello Salad image

While there appears to be a huge variety of Orange Delight salads out there, I have yet to run across one made exactly the way we make it in our home. My mom received the recipe from a co-worker probably 40+ years ago. Even after a heavy meal, this is a really refreshing dessert. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large orange jello-o (or 2 small boxes)
2 c boiling water
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
8 oz crushed pineapple (can be packed in juice or water - do not drain)
2 can(s) mandarin oranges (11 oz ea) - drain
1 small vanilla or french vanilla instant pudding (we have always preferred french vanilla)
8 or 9 oz cool whip
1 c cold milk

Steps:

  • 1. For jello mixture: Bring water to a boil, add Jell-O, stirring until clear. Remove from heat. Add frozen orange juice concentrate and stir until melted. Stir in mandarin oranges and pineapple. Pour into an 11 x 7 dish and refrigerate overnight or until the jello mixture has completely set.
  • 2. For Topping: Mix pudding with milk until it starts to set up. Be sure to use only 1 cup of milk, as listed in the ingredients. You don't want to make actual pudding. Fold in Cool Whip and spread over top of jello mixture.
  • 3. Optional: Put mandarin orange slices on top for color. Add crushed pecans for added texture, color, etc.

This orange delight jello salad was a disaster! The jello didn't set properly, and the whole thing turned out mushy. I also didn't like the flavor of the orange jello. It was too artificial.
