Mandarin Orange Fluff Salad Recipe*

Mandarin Orange Fluff Salad Recipe*

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• 1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes (optional)
• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:

1. Mix Pudding Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until well combined. Add the sour cream and continue to mix until smooth.
2. Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with the pudding mixture until it’s all smoothly incorporated.
3. Incorporate Fruits and Marshmallows: Add the drained mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and coconut flakes to the mixture. Fold everything together gently to avoid crushing the oranges.
4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set.
5. Serve: Once chilled, give it a gentle stir and serve. Optionally, you can garnish with additional mandarin orange segments or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra flair.

This dessert is incredibly easy to make and offers a sweet, creamy texture with bursts of fruitiness from the mandarin oranges. Perfect for a quick dessert or a special occasion!
