Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 ounce) package orange gelatin (Jello)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped, or 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
- Dissolve the orange gelatin completely in the boiling water. Stir until no granules remain.
- Add the cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.
- Refrigerate the gelatin mixture until it is partially set, about 1 to 1.5 hours. It should be thick but not completely firm.
- Gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges and the miniature marshmallows into the partially set gelatin.
- Fold in the whipped cream or thawed whipped topping until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill the salad for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use canned mandarin oranges packed in light syrup and drain them well.
- If you prefer a firmer salad, you can let the gelatin set longer, but avoid letting it become completely solid before adding the other ingredients.
- This salad tastes best when served cold.
