Ingredients
1 large box orange sugar free Jell-O (8 servings)
1 8-oz container Cool Whip
6-ounce can mandarin oranges in juice, drained, juice reserved
Water and ice
1 8-oz container Cool Whip
6-ounce can mandarin oranges in juice, drained, juice reserved
Water and ice
Instructions
Place reserved mandarin orange juice in a 2-cup measuring cup. Add water to fill to the 2-cup line. Heat water/juice to boiling. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin powder, stirring until dissolved. Move mixture to a large measuring cup or bowl. Add one cup of ice to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add water to the ice to bring the level to the 2-cup mark. Pour ice/water into the gelatin mixture and stir until ice has melted. Place gelatin in the refrigerator until the mixture is partially gelled. It should be firm enough that it won’t spill out of the container, but will not hold its shape well when lifted with a spoon. Use an electric mixer to break up the gelatin mixture until mixture is very loose and no longer holding its shape. Add HALF of the Cool Whip and most of the mandarin oranges (reserve about 8 nice ones for garnish) and beat just enough to blend everything together. Pour into eight dessert dishes and chill until firm. (We poured the mixture into paper-lined muffin tins.) Garnish with a dollop of Cool Whip and a mandarin orange.
