Cool Mandarin Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and mandarin oranges with juice. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
• To make the topping: In a large bowl, beat together whipped topping, pineapple with juice and dry pudding mix until blended. Spread on cake.

Steps:

• Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Steps:

• Drain oranges, reserving the juice Add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup Refrigerate the oranges In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
• Stir in reserved juice.
• Add sherbet, stirring until dissolved. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until thickened. Pour into a blender, blend until smooth then return to original bowl.
• Keep 10 orange segments refrigerated for garnish Fold remaining oranges into gelatin mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight Just before serving, garnish with reserved oranges and mint if desired.
