Dreamy Orange Fluff Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained and chopped (reserve some juice for added flavor if desired)

• 1 box (3 oz) orange Jell-O (instant pudding mix)

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

• 1 cup mini marshmallows

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional for extra sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture:

   • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

   • Add the sour cream and powdered sugar (if using), and continue to beat until well combined.

2. Add the Jell-O:

   • Stir in the dry orange Jell-O powder into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. There’s no need to prepare the Jell-O as a liquid – just use the dry powder.

3. Fold in the whipped topping:

   • Gently fold the whipped topping (Cool Whip) into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it. The fluff should be light and airy.

4. Add the fruit and marshmallows:

   • Gently fold in the chopped mandarin oranges (make sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid) and mini marshmallows. If you want a stronger orange flavor, you can drizzle in a little reserved mandarin orange juice at this stage.

5. Chill:

   • Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set. The flavors will meld together beautifully, and the fluff will firm up slightly.

6. Serve:

   • Serve chilled in individual bowls or as a large dish. You can garnish with extra mandarin orange slices or a few more mini marshmallows on top for decoration.

Tips:

• For extra texture, you can add some chopped pineapple or shredded coconut to the fluff.

• This dessert can be made a day ahead of time, which makes it perfect for prepping in advance for parties or gatherings.

• You can use sugar-free Jell-O and light whipped topping to make a lighter version of this dessert.

This Dreamy Orange Fluff is a refreshing, creamy, and irresistible treat that everyone will love!
