ORANGE JELLO SALAD
Steps:
- Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect orange color, use a combination of orange gelatin powder and orange juice. - For a creamier texture, use a combination of milk and heavy cream instead of just milk. - To make the mandarin orange segments easier to cut, use a sharp knife and cut them into thin slices. - If you don't have any mandarin oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges or orange segments instead. - To make the orange jello layer more flavorful, add some orange zest or orange extract. - If you don't have any orange sherbet, you can use vanilla sherbet or ice cream instead. - To make the dreamsicle jello more fun and festive, add some sprinkles or edible glitter before serving.Conclusion:
