Easy Mandarin Orange Dessert with 3 Ingredients

26 Comments

Are you ready for another simple and satisfying dessert? How about an easy mandarin orange dessert?  A couple of weeks ago, I shared the pineapple version of this delightful sweet bite. It’s basically just three ingredients whipped up by hand into a glorious treat that will knock your socks off. Okay, maybe not literally but it sure will cure a sweet tooth. That is a real “condition”, isn’t it?

If you remember, it’s just canned fruit in syrup combined with dry pudding mix and whipped topping.  But the result is anything but “just”.  Enjoying it chilled from your fridge is like walking into a spring wonderland and topping with another dab of whipped cream takes it right over the top. Literally!
