Ingredients
-
1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
-
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip)
-
1 (6 oz) package orange gelatin (like Jell-O)
-
1 1/2 cups milk
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments, drained (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, orange gelatin powder, and milk. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and is smooth.
-
Add sour cream: Gently fold in the sour cream until fully combined. The sour cream adds creaminess and a slight tang, making the fluff extra smooth.
-
Fold in whipped topping: Add the whipped topping (Cool Whip) to the mixture and gently fold it in until it’s completely incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the fluffiness of the whipped topping.
-
Add mix-ins (optional): If you’re using mini marshmallows or mandarin oranges, fold them in now. The marshmallows add a fun texture, while the mandarin oranges enhance the citrus flavor and add a juicy burst.
-
Chill the fluff: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s fully chilled and set. The fluff will firm up a bit and become even more delicious as it chills.
-
Serve: After the fluff has chilled, serve it in individual bowls or as a big scoop in a serving dish. You can garnish with extra orange zest, mandarin oranges, or a sprinkle of grated coconut if desired.
Notes
