Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 box orange gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 can mandarin oranges 15 ounces, well drained

Method
 

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Pour in the orange juice and add the orange gelatin mix.
  4. Beat until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly orange in color.
  5. Add the Cool Whip and mix on low speed just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and well-drained mandarin oranges with a spatula.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the mixture to thicken and the flavors to blend.
  8. Give the fluff a gentle stir before serving.
  9. Spoon into a large serving bowl or individual dessert dishes and garnish with extra mandarin oranges or whipped topping if desired.

Notes

Drain the mandarin oranges thoroughly to keep the fluff thick and creamy. For extra citrus flavor, add a little finely grated orange zest.
