Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Lime-flavored gelatin mix
- 3 oz Orange-flavored gelatin mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 15 oz Mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 8 oz Sour cream
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lime-flavored gelatin mix with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the lime gelatin mixture and stir. Pour into a 9x13-inch dish and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until partially set.
In another large bowl, repeat the process with the orange-flavored gelatin mix: dissolve in 2 cups of boiling water and add 1 cup of cold water. Set aside at room temperature.
Once the lime gelatin layer is partially set, evenly sprinkle the drained mandarin oranges across the top.
Carefully spoon the cooled orange gelatin mixture over the mandarin oranges layer. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until partially set.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and sour cream. Mix well.
Gently fold the mini marshmallows into the pineapple-sour cream mixture.
Once the orange layer is partially set, carefully spread the pineapple-sour cream mixture on top, creating the final layer.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Delight Gelatin Salad!
