Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 small box orange jello
- 1 small box instant vanilla pudding or French vanilla
- 1 small box heat and serve tapioca
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple drained
- 15 ounces mandarin oranges drained
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
Instructions
- Boil 3 cups of water in a small saucepan.
- When it comes to a rolling boil, whisk in the jello, pudding, and tapioca mixes. Make sure each box is completely dissolved before adding the next.
- Boil for one full minute, then remove from the heat and cool.
- In a 3-quart mixing bowl, combine the pineapple and oranges. (Drain them first! If you forget to, your fluff will be more like a thick milkshake. It still tastes great, but its consistency is all wrong.)
- Pour in the Jello mixture and mix well.
- Fold in the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for an hour or until set.
