Orange Fluff

This Orange Fluff is the perfect light dessert. Made with mandarin oranges, marshmallows, orange Jell-o and an ingredient you would not expect this dessert tastes like an orange creamsicle!

I have heard of Orange Fluff Salad a lot, especially where I live. I had never tried it until recently, and I knew I needed to share it with you all!

I love a “salad” made with cool whip and Jell-O. This is a super tasty treat, and it is super easy to make! My kids thought this Orange Fluff tasted just like an Orange Creamsicle!

How to make Orange Fluff:

Orange Fluff is very easy to make. Literally all you need to do is mix your ingredients together and serve. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, and then chill until ready to serve.

You can make this in less than 10 minutes, and it is a perfect springtime treat!

Ingredient Notes:

• Cottage Cheese – Yes, this is the secret ingredient! I used small curd cottage cheese for this recipe.
• Orange Jell-O Powder – You do not need to make the Jell-O; we are mixing the powder into the recipe.
• Mandarin Oranges – Make sure you drain them well. You do not want the extra juice in the Fluff.
• Cool Whip – This is what makes the “fluff.”
• Mini Marshmallows

Directions:

Step One – Combine cottage cheese and Jell-O powder mix.

Step Two – Add well-drained mandarin oranges and cool whip and mix to combine.

Step Three – Gently fold in mini marshmallows then cover your bowl with plastic wrap.

Step Four – Place Orange Fluff into the fridge to chill for 3-4 hours before serving.

Alternate options for Orange Fluff:

1. Raspberry Fluff – Change out the orange Jell-o and Mandarin Oranges for Raspberry Jell-o and fresh raspberries.
2. Strawberry Fluff – Same thing here. change out the orange for Strawberry Jell-o and fresh strawberry slices.
3. Pineapple Fluff – And again, change out for Pineapple Jell-o and pineapple chunks.

How long can you keep Fluff?

Typically, this type of “salad” needs to be eaten pretty quickly. Ideally, you want to only keep this refrigerated for about 3 days. After 3 days, I would recommend discarding it. If it gets watery drain the extra liquid before serving.
