Orange Creamsicle Fluff Salad

Step 3: Fold in the Gelatin and Whipped Topping

1. Slowly pour the cooled gelatin over the fruit and marshmallow mixture.
2. Fold in the gelatin gently, ensuring all pieces of fruit and marshmallows are coated evenly.
3. Next, fold in the whipped topping. Mix until the salad is light, fluffy, and uniform in texture.
4. If using, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and fold gently.

Step 4: Chill the Salad

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a sealable container.
2. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until the salad is firm.
3. For best results, chill overnight.

Tip: Chilling allows the flavors to meld, creating the perfect creamsicle-like taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Scoop the fluff salad into individual bowls or serve it straight from the dish.
2. Garnish with a few extra mandarin orange segments or a sprinkle of mini marshmallows for presentation.
