✨ Ingredients

  • 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained – or 2–3 fresh Madeiran oranges, peeled and chopped

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box orange gelatin mix

  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • Optional: ½ cup shredded coconut or crushed pineapple for extra flavor

✨ Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese and orange gelatin powder. Stir until fully blended.

  2. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

  3. Add marshmallows and oranges. Gently mix to keep the oranges from breaking apart.

  4. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving—overnight is even better for full flavor!

  5. Scoop into small bowls or cups and enjoy cold.

✨ Tips & Swaps

  • Fresh Madeiran oranges add a burst of citrus and are a delicious twist on classic mandarin oranges.

  • Use pineapple tidbits or add coconut if you like more texture.

  • Want it extra creamy? Stir in a few tablespoons of vanilla yogurt.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh oranges instead of canned?
A: Yes! Madeiran oranges are sweet and less acidic, making them perfect for this fluff salad. Just peel, chop, and remove seeds before adding.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! This salad tastes even better after chilling overnight—just store it covered in the fridge.

Q: Can I skip the cottage cheese?
A: If you prefer, you can swap it for plain Greek yogurt or just use extra whipped topping. The texture will be slightly different but still tasty!

Q: Does it freeze well?
A: It’s best enjoyed fresh and chilled. Freezing will change the texture of the whipped topping and marshmallows.
