Dreamsicle Dessert
Hello! My Man loves Dreamsicl9es, Orange Julius, orange sherbet and just about anything else you can think of that has that delicious creamy orange flavor. I was trying to use up some of my odds and ends the other day and decided to make him a treat, which The Girl Child was equally as excited about. She loves anything involving mandarin oranges.
I used a sugar cookie mix, some vanilla pudding, orange Jello, whipped cream, powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter and mandarin oranges. It turned out exactly as I hoped and My Man and The Girl Child loved it!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Cookie Base:
1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
Butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for drop cookies
1/3 cup butter (melted)
Filling:
2 boxes (3 oz each) orange Jello mix
1/3 cup boiling water
2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Jello vanilla flavor instant pudding & pie filling mix
2 1/2 cups cold milk
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip
Topping:
1/2 cup canned mandarin orange segments (drained)
Ok. Let’s do this!
Heat oven to 375°
Make and bake drop cookies as directed on pouch. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In food processor, pulse the cookies to coarse crumbs. Place in medium bowl.
Stir in melted butter until well blended.
In ungreased 13×9 glass baking dish, press cookie crumb mixture firmly in bottom.
In small bowl, mix jello and boiling water; beat with whisk until blended. Stir occasionally, about 2 minutes or until mostly dissolved.
In medium bowl, beat dry pudding mixes and milk with whisk, about 2 minutes or until thick.
Stir in dissolved jello. Let stand 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Beat in 2 cups of the whipped cream.
Spread over cookie crust.
Pour pudding mixture over cream cheese layer; spread evenly over top.
Drop remaining whipped cream by spoonfuls over pudding layer; carefully spread until even.
Refrigerate 5 hours.
When ready to serve, sprinkle orange segments on top.
Cover and refrigerate any remaining pieces.
