Creamy Orange Jello

My mom has made this recipe for as long as I can remember. It is so easy and so refreshing especially during these HOT summer days!

 

I always bring this when I make a meal for a new mom. There's just something so yummy about the cold fruit and pudding topping.

 

We've always had this as part of the meal, more like a side dish rather than dessert.

Creamy Orange Jello

2 boxes (3 oz) orange gelatin powder

1 cup boiling water

2 cups orange juice

1 can mandarin oranges, drained

1 can crushed pineapple, drained

Topping:

2 small boxes (instant) lemon pudding mix

For the topping: Mix together pudding mix with 2 cups milk. Beat for 2 minutes. Fold in cool whip. Spread topping over jello. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
