1 (0.30 oz) Package sugar free orange jello
1 small can mandarin orange ( I had about 1 cup)
1 (3.4 oz) package of fat free vanilla pudding
1 container fat free cool whip ( I use 3/4 of a 8 oz container, Jo and Sue used a large container which I think is 16 oz.)
Dissolve orange jello in 1 cup boiling water. In 1 cup add 1/2 of the cup with ice and fill the rest with cold water. Add to the dissolved jello. Stir until the ice is gone and then set it aside for five minutes.
Stir in one cup mandarin oranges- leave a few out so you can decorate your dessert.
With an electric mixture ( I used my kitchen aid) blend in the vanilla pudding. Mix until well blended. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Fold in half of the tub of cool whip.
Spoon into individual dishes and put in the fridge.
Add additional cool whip and a few Mandarins to pretty it up.
This was really good! Next time I'm going to try the strawberries. See Jo and Sue's Blog for additional flavors.
This sounds so good. You know I think you should win an award for using up all the food you have in a great way. I would never think to do this.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh ~ This is a reason enough to buy a Tub ~ lol Creamsicle was always one of my Favorites~ This sounds so refreshing, light and fluffy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. Sounds like a winner.
How's the potato reduction coming along.
I agree Great way to use up all of the extras.

Linda that looks SO GOOD! I have some sugar free jello I've been meaning to use up along with various sugar free pudding mixes. What a super idea. Bob isn't a huge fan of jello but I think he'd like this. I love anything orange.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing it-what a great use it up recipe-and I'm with you-I bet it would be delicious with strawberries.
