Retro Orange Fluff

Ingredients

• 1 package (3.4 oz) orange-flavored gelatin (like Jell-O)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional)
• Additional whipped topping for garnish
• Orange zest for added flavor

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
2. Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, add 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Allow it to cool for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the whipped topping and cottage cheese (if using). Fold this mixture into the gelatin and fruit mixture until well combined.
5. Transfer the orange fluff mixture into a serving bowl or individual cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. Once chilled, serve your retro orange fluff with a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of orange zest.
