Ingredients
- 2 cups water, divided ($0.00)
- 1 box (3 ounces) orange gelatin mix ($0.83)
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix ($0.83)
- 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed ($1.07)
- 1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained ($1.34)
- 1 ½ cup mini marshmallows ($0.32)
Instructions
- Dissolve gelatin. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup boiling water and the orange gelatin mix until fully dissolved.
- Add cold water. Stir in the remaining 1 cup cold water until combined.
- Add pudding mix. Whisk in the dry instant pudding mix until smooth. Let the mixture rest for 10 to 15 minutes to cool and thicken slightly.
- Add whipped topping. Whisk in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- Add mix-ins. Stir in the mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir before serving to redistribute the fruit and marshmallows.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- Pudding mix. Use instant pudding only, not cook-and-serve. Cheesecake or white chocolate pudding can be substituted.
- Fruit add-ins. Crushed or tidbit pineapple, well drained, pairs well with the orange flavor.
- Marshmallows. Colored mini marshmallows add extra visual appeal.
- Lower sugar option. Sugar-free gelatin, low-sugar fruit, and light whipped topping can be used.
- Texture add-ins. Chopped pecans or walnuts add crunch if desired.
- Dairy-free. Use dairy-free pudding and whipped topping alternatives if needed.
