Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 ounce box orange Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 block cream cheese
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 23.5 ounces mandarin oranges, well drained drained
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the orange Jello mix to 1 cup boiling water and whisk well until dissolved. Add the remaining ½ cup water. Place bowl in refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- While Jello is chilling, use a mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- When the Jello is cool add the cream cheese to the bowl and on the lowest setting mix the cream cheese and Jello together. It maybe a little lumpy but that is ok.
- Fold in the Cool Whip, drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours or even over night. Serve chilled.
