Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 ounces (canned, drained) Mandarin oranges
- 1 packet (0.25 ounces) Unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup (thawed) Orange juice concentrate
- 2 cups (lightly sweetened) Whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Drain the canned mandarin oranges and set them aside. Reserve a few slices for garnish, if desired.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and allow it to bloom (soften) for 5 minutes.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the bloomed gelatin, whisking until completely dissolved.
Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange juice concentrate to the gelatin mixture and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled gelatin mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Fold in the mandarin orange slices and salt, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the souffle mixture into a prepared souffle dish or individual serving dishes.
Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until firmly set.
Before serving, garnish with reserved mandarin orange slices or additional whipped cream, if desired.
