Orange Fluff Recipe

You can never go wrong with a nostalgic recipe like this Orange Fluff Salad. It’s sweet, fruity, and takes just 5 minutes to toss together. I’ve been making this for years—and it always disappears fast! Whether it’s for potlucks, family dinners, or summer cookouts, this easy dish is always a hit.

• 1 Tub Cool Whip (8 oz)

• 1 Box Orange Gelatin Powder (3 oz)

• 1 Can Mandarin Oranges, drained (14 oz)

• 1 ½ Cups Mini Marshmallows

• 1 Cup Cottage Cheese

• 1 Cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut

• In a large bowl, combine the Cool Whip and orange gelatin powder until fully mixed (no white streaks!).

• Fold in the mandarin oranges, marshmallows, cottage cheese, and coconut.

• Serve right away or refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy!

• Store in the fridge (covered) for up to a week—don’t freeze!

• Stir before serving again, as liquid may rise to the top.

• Marshmallows get gooier after chilling—don’t worry, it’s even better that way.

This salad has been passed down and remixed for generations. Try swapping flavors or adding:

• Yogurt or sour cream

• Fruit cocktail or pineapple chunks

• Chopped pecans for crunch

• Lime or strawberry Jello for a twist

Want the best flavor? Let it chill overnight. The flavors soak in and the texture becomes even creamier. It’s a make-ahead dream dish!
