Oh, this dessert!

It's a family favorite around our house. I serve it often because there's usually at least one of us at our table watching their calorie and sugar intake. Plus, it only takes a few minutes to whip up. No more than ten minutes, I promise!

The Foursome Ingredients

My sister's original recipe she shared with me calls for sugar-free Cool Whip. Feel free to start with an 8-ounce tub of that pre-maid topping. It will work fine instead of the real cream in this Mandarin Orange Pudding Dessert recipe. I'd rather have the fresh taste and healthier benefits of whipping cream than Cool Whip, but the choice is yours.

Ingredients pudding mix, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream in separate bowls.

After whipping the cream, the next ingredient is a small box of sugar-free vanilla pudding mix. Mixing the pudding slowly into the cream and some vanilla extract bumps up that vanilla flavor to another level.

The last step of this low-sugar treat is to fold the mandarin oranges into the pudding mixture. You want those little orange slices well distributed throughout the pudding, and a gentle fold is best.

And Voila! Your dessert is ready. The rich creaminess is such a surprise. You'll feel like you're eating lots of carbs and calories, but you're not.

It's best to chill the pudding dessert for a few hours before serving cold. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This is such a no-effort dish I serve it along with other desserts at the table so people can have a low sugar choice and not feel like they are missing out on dessert. It makes everyone happy!

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 11-ounce cans mandarin oranges, drained

Notes

  • A gentle slow stirring helps to keep the dessert light and creamy and the fruit from breaking up too much.
  • A regular box of instant pudding mix can be used in place of the sugar-free pudding.
