Ingredients
- 6 ounces Orange-flavored gelatin
- 3.4 ounces Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Cooking spray
- 0 Fresh orange slices or zest (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease a Jello mold or bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the dessert later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange-flavored gelatin powder with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Add 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of orange juice to the gelatin mixture. Stir to combine, then set aside to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix with the slightly cooled gelatin mixture. Stir until the pudding is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. This will give the Jello a creamy consistency.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared Jello mold or bundt pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Step 6
Before serving, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl. Whip until soft peaks form.
Step 7
To unmold the Jello, carefully run a knife around the edges of the mold. Place a serving plate over the top, then invert the mold and gently shake to release the Jello.
Step 8
Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh orange slices or zest, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
