  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 small box orange gelatin powder
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and thicker texture.
  • Swap in light whipped topping or low-fat yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add crushed pineapple or shredded coconut for extra texture.
  • Experiment with different gelatin flavors, but orange gives the classic taste.
  • Always drain fruit well and let gelatin cool slightly to avoid a watery salad.
