🍊 Orange Dreamsicle Fluff
A light, airy, and nostalgically creamy treat that works as a frosting, a dip, or a standalone dessert salad.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Instant Orange Pudding Mix | 1 package (3.4 oz) |
| Cold Whole Milk | 1 cup |
| Whipped Topping (e.g., Cool Whip) | 1 tub (8 oz), thawed |
| Vanilla Extract | ½ tsp (optional) |
Instructions
- Whisk the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until thick.
- Set: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to firm up properly.
- Fold: Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla. Do not over-mix, or it will lose its “fluff.”
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Pro Tip: For an extra citrus kick, fold in a well-drained can of mandarin oranges or a teaspoon of fresh orange zest!
