🍊 Creamsicle Orange Fluff Recipe

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 1 cup cold milk

• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

• 1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained

• 1½ cups mini marshmallows

• 1 package (3 oz) orange Jell-O (dry mix)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Mix pudding + milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).

2. Add Jell-O powder: Stir in the dry orange Jell-O powder until fully combined.

3. Fold in cottage cheese (if using): Stir until smooth.

4. Add whipped topping: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until well mixed.

5. Add mix-ins: Stir in the drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows.

6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps everything set and meld together.

🍽 Tips:

• You can add crushed pineapple (drained) for extra tropical flavor.

• Garnish with orange zest or extra mandarin slices on top.

• It keeps well in the fridge for 2–3 days, but stir before serving if it sits.
