Ingredients
Scale:
1 can (15 oz) of Mandarin oranges, drained
1 package (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup of milk (whole or 2% works best)
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of mini marshmallows (optional)
Extra Mandarin oranges (for garnish)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Orange zest (optional, for a burst of color and flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk. Whisk together until thickened, about 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
Once combined, gently fold in the drained Mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows (if using).
Transfer the creamy fluff to a serving dish or individual cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
