Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Orange-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 8 oz Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 11 oz Mandarin oranges (drained)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 8 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin mix in boiling water. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add the cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Set the bowl aside and allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Fold the drained crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges into the gelatin mixture.
Add the mini marshmallows and shredded sweetened coconut (if using) to the bowl and gently stir until evenly combined.
Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and uniform, ensuring all ingredients are coated. Be gentle to retain the whipped topping’s fluffy texture.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set and chilled.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or salad. Enjoy!
