Recipe type: Side Dish/Jello Salad
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (3 ounce) pkg orange jello
  • 1 (3 ounce) pkg cook & serve vanilla pudding
  • 1 (3 ounce) pkg cook & serve tapioca pudding
  • 1 (16 ounce) Cool Whip
  • 2 (8.25 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan bring to boil the water.
  2. Whisk in the orange jello, vanilla pudding, and tapioca pudding. Return to a boil, and boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Next, remove from heat and let the orange jello mixture cool completely. I let it cool in the refrigerator. First, I put a hot pad on the fridge shelf, and then place the saucepan on the hot pad.
  4. Once the orange jello mixture has cooled, place it in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the Cool Whip until it's thoroughly combined.
  5. Next, fold in the drained mandarin oranges.
  6. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  7. Enjoy!
  8. ** Whenever I make this jello salad, I double it, and that's why you see double the ingredients—with the exception of the mandarin oranges—in the step-by-step photos.
