Ingredients
Steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 ounces of orange gelatin powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1 pint (2 cups) of orange sherbet to the gelatin mixture. Use an electric mixer to blend the sherbet into the warm gelatin until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Gently fold in one tub (approximately 8 ounces) of thawed whipped topping until the mixture becomes creamy and uniform in color.
Add 11 ounces of drained mandarin oranges to the mixture and fold them in gently so as not to break the fruit segments.
Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or mold and refrigerate until set (typically at least 2 hours).
Notes
The author describes this as a 'big sweet goop' that tastes like an orange dreamsicle. Ensure the sherbet is slightly softened before mixing to make blending easier. While the video doesn't explicitly state chilling time, standard gelatin salads of this type require at least 2 hours to set.
