Description

This Creamsicle Orange Fluff is like a bowl of sunshine—creamy, airy, and bursting with citrus sweetness.
The combination of orange Jell-O and vanilla pudding creates a classic creamsicle flavor,
while the marshmallows and fruit add fun texture and brightness. It’s a refreshing dessert salad
perfect for warm days or any occasion where you want a simple, crowd-pleasing sweet treat.

Tips

• Allow the Jell-O to thicken: If added too soon, the mixture may become runny.
• Drain mandarin oranges well: Excess liquid can water down the fluff.
• Customize it: Try adding coconut flakes, chopped pecans, or mini white chocolate chips.
• Make ahead: This dessert often tastes better when chilled overnight.
• Substitute Cool Whip: Use 2 cups of stabilized whipped cream if preferred.

Correction

If your fluff is too thin: Add more Cool Whip or marshmallows, and chill longer. Next time, ensure fruit is well-drained.
If your fluff is too thick: Add a few tablespoons of pineapple juice or milk and gently fold in.
