This jello salad makes an appearance at my table every Thanksgiving. It's something I had every Thanksgiving growing up, and it just wouldn't be the same without it. I usually only make it once a year though because there are only 2 of us, and we can never finish the whole pan.
Creamy Orange Fluff
1 pkg (6 oz) orange gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water
2 cans (11 oz each) mandarin oranges, drained
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained (I omit this just because of personal preference)
1 can (6oz) frozen orange juice concentrate (without pulp), thawed
Topping
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup cold milk
1 (3.4 oz) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
Coat a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in oranges, pineapple, and orange juice concentrate. Pour in the dish and refrigerate until firm. After the gelatin has firmed up, beat softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until light. Gradually add milk and pudding mix. Beat until smooth. Spread over orange layer. Chill until firm.
