This is SO EASY! It literally takes 10 minutes to prepare...5 if you don't decorate the top. No boiling water necessary! I frequently bring this to potlucks where I rarely have leftovers. I've seen other recipes with additional ingredients, but the simple flavor combination of this recipe always wins rave reviews. I don't...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 24 oz carton cottage cheese (i use small curd)
2 3 oz boxes orange-flavored gelatin (or one large box)
4 oz whipped topping (half an 8 oz tub)
2 small cans mandarin orange slices in light syrup, drained (or 1 large can, drained)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cottage cheese with the Jello. Mixture will be a little grainy due to undissolved sugar (you can stir it until it dissolves, but I never do and it comes out fine - sugar will usually dissolve during refrigeration, but if it doesn't, it's no big deal).
  • 2. Fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated. Don't get too vigorous with this as it's possible to stir out all the loft in the topping.
  • 3. Make sure the oranges are well drained (if you're frugal you can use the juice to flavor/sweeten something else). OPTIONAL - Reserve several orange sections for decoration - (I usually pull out 16 well-formed slices). Next, gently stir the remaining fruit into the Jello mixture until well distributed. Remember, don't over-do it or you'll lose too much loft from the whipped topping and the dish will be runny.
  • 4. Transfer mixture to serving dish, smooth top and (OPTIONAL) arrange reserved orange sections in attractive design (I put a slice at each of the clock numbers, all facing the same direction, plus a "flower" of 4 in the center, usually facing the opposite direction from the numbered slices). Cover; refrigerate. Serve cold.
  • 5. VARIATIONS This can easily be made lower calorie or diabetic friendly by choosing dietetic options for the ingredients. Be forewarned, however, if you use a dietetic product for every option, you will probably be disappointed in the flavor. If you want more of a Dreamsicle flavor, you can add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

My cousin shared this recipe with me years ago, and it's always been a favorite. It's as pretty on the plate as it is refreshing. Better made the night before.

Categories     Gelatin Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg lemon gelatin
1 pkg orange gelatin
2 c hot water
2 diced bananas
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice for topping)
1 c miniature marshmallows
1 or 2 can(s) mandarin oranges, drained
1 egg
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water. When gelatin has thickened, but not set, add bananas and crushed pineapple.
  • 2. Fold in marshmallows and oranges. Pour into 9" X 13" pan and return to refrigerator.
  • 3. After gelatin is set: Cook 2 tbsp flour, 1 egg slightly beaten, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 cup pineapple juice. Cook until thickened. Add 2 tbsp butter.
  • 4. After this mixture is cold, add 1 cup whipping cream (whipped with juice of one lemon).
  • 5. Spread over top of gelatin, and keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this salad. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Choose a good quality jello: The quality of the jello you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for a jello that is made with real fruit juice and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overcook the jello: Overcooked jello will be tough and rubbery. Be sure to follow the directions on the package carefully.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the jello to set and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or whipped cream: This will add a nice touch of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Mandarin orange jello salad is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and refreshing mandarin orange jello salad that everyone will love.
