  • 11 ounces mandarin oranges drained
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk cold
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup coconut shredded

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  • Stir in the drained mandarin oranges. Add marshmallows and shredded coconut, if using.
  • Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the flavors come together.
  • Serve on its own or with graham crackers or vanilla wafers for added crunch.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use ice-cold milk to help the pudding thicken faster.
  • Be gentle when folding in the oranges to avoid breaking them up.
  • Add a splash of orange juice for extra citrus flavor.
  • If you want to make it ahead, this dessert holds up beautifully for a day or two in the fridge.
