Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this delicious Creamsicle Orange Fluff:

• 1 box Orange Jello

• 1 box Instant Vanilla Cheesecake Pudding Mix

• 1 cup Boiling Water

• ½ cup Cold Water

• 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

• 1 small can Mandarin Oranges, drained

• 1 cup Miniature Marshmallows (pastel-colored for a fun, colorful twist)

• Optional Garnish: Extra orange slices and fresh mint leaves for presentation

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Jello

In a large mixing bowl, add boiling water to the orange Jello. Whisk thoroughly until the Jello is fully dissolved.
Add cold water and stir to combine. This step sets the base for the fluffy texture of your dessert.

Step 2: Chill Slightly

Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a slightly syrupy consistency.
This ensures the Creamsicle Orange Fluff has the perfect creamy structure.

Step 3: Add Pudding Mix

Whisk the instant vanilla cheesecake pudding mix into the thickened Jello until smooth and lump-free.
Return to the fridge and chill for another 20 minutes, allowing it to set.

Step 4: Fold in Remaining Ingredients

Once thickened, gently fold in the Cool Whip, mandarin oranges, and miniature marshmallows.
Use a spatula and slow movements to keep the dessert light and airy, ensuring that every bite of the Creamsicle Orange Fluff is perfectly smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Final Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving.
For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with orange slices, marshmallows, and a sprig of mint.
