What is orange dreamsicle salad?
How to Make Orange Dreamsicle Salad
– Ingredients:
- Orange Jell-O
- Vanilla Pudding
- Cream Cheese
- Cool Whip
- Mini Marshmallows
- Cans of oranges
– Instructions:
- Mix jelly and water: In a large bowl, mix jelly powder and boiling water. Hit it together. Then, add cold water, stir well and put in the refrigerator to cool for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the salad from the refrigerator and stir in the pudding batter. Then, put it in the fridge for another 20 minutes until frozen.
- Mix the cream cheese and cool whip into the mixture after adding them. Then add marshmallows and citrus. Before enjoying, chill for at least an hour.
- You may want to add citrus on top of the salad for garnish and extra orange flavor. We serve the Jello salad in a large bowl and scoop out portions as needed. You can also scoop the salad into small cups, ramekins, or glass jars to make your own serving-size Jello salad.
How long does Orange Dreamsicle Salad last? 
This dessert salad can last for about five days in the fridge, like many creamy fruit salads, so it’s the ideal treat! Make this the day before your next pool party or barbeque for even fresher flavors the next day since the longer the flavors remain, the more they meld together. I like to garnish my Orange Cream Salad about half an hour after serving to keep the citrus from drying out in the air or to not lose the coconut coating on the mixture.
Some variations of this salad can be:
- Flavors: You can replace the orange flavor with many other flavors like raspberry, cherry, strawberry or even pineapple! Then use that same fresh fruit to amplify the delicious flavor.
- Marshmallows: Kids usually love anything rainbow-colored, so sometimes you can mix them together and use rainbow mini marshmallows instead!
- Nuts: If you want a little more texture, try adding some chopped pecans or walnuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
– Can you Freeze Salad Dreamsicle?
Can be frozen, but be aware that some ingredients will change texture after the dessert is defrosted – specifically marshmallows. If that’s not a concern to you, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
– What is the difference between Orange Dreamsicle and Orange Creamsicle?
The original Orange Dreamsicle had a frozen milk middle, while the Orange Creamsicle had a classic ice cream middle. As a result, Dreamsicle is more like sherbet than ice cream. Aside from having a somewhat distinct flavor, the almond extract has been added to Dreamsicle.
– Can you make a Dream Orange Salad with Fresh Orange?
You can, but the overall texture will change. Fresh oranges are firmer and fibrous than tangerines, relatively small and soft. As a result, the smooth consistency is interrupted by more chewy fresh oranges.
– Is orange dreamsicle salad healthy?
Orange dreamsicle salad is not typically considered a healthy dessert, as it contains high amounts of sugar and calories. However, you can make a healthier version by using sugar-free gelatin and pudding and substituting the whipped topping with plain Greek yogurt.
