Ingredients
- 6 ounces orange-flavored gelatin (Jello)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Once the gelatin has cooled, fold in the crushed pineapple along with its juice and mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Next, gently stir in the mini marshmallows to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream and thawed whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Slowly fold the sour cream and whipped topping mixture into the gelatin mixture until fully combined.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or a large serving bowl. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Step 8
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jello salad is fully set.
Step 9
Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator and serve chilled. Garnish with additional whipped topping or orange zest, if desired.
