Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boiling water |
| 1 | Can mandarin oranges |
| 1 | Cup milk |
| 300g | Vanilla instant pudding mix |
| 1 1/2 | Cups Cool Whip Topping |
| 1 | Orange zest |
| 1 | Cup fresh cranberries |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Jelly: Start by dissolving the jelly powder in boiling water. Make sure it’s completely dissolved.
-
Prepare the Oranges: Drain the mandarin oranges, but don’t discard the liquid. Instead, reserve it. Add enough cold water to the reserved liquid to measure 1 cup. Stir this mixture into the dissolved jelly.
-
Layer the Trifle: Take a glass trifle bowl and layer it with cake cubes. Then, pour the prepared jelly mixture over the cake cubes. Gently toss the cubes until they are evenly coated and absorbed in the jelly.
-
Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, pour the milk and add the vanilla instant pudding mix. Beat this mixture for about 1 minute until it thickens slightly.
-
Add Flavorful Layers: Fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip topping into the pudding mixture. Then, add the mandarin orange sections and orange zest. Spread this creamy mixture over the jelly layer in the trifle bowl.
-
Garnish and Chill: Finally, garnish the trifle with the remaining Cool Whip topping and fresh cranberries. This adds a beautiful finishing touch to your dessert. Once garnished, chill the trifle in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
