Orange Pineapple Jell-O Fluff is a family friendly side or dessert that is quick and easy to make ahead with 2 fruits! This will be a new favorite!
Orange Pineapple Jell-O Fluff has been one of our family favorites for decades. It is sweet, cold and creamy.
My favorite part as the cook—well, there is no cooking here—but the preparer, is that it is SO easy! It takes 10 minutes or less to mix this up!
And the best part—oh wait. Is this the same as my favorite part? Ok, there are a few great things about this recipe!
Another great thing is that it can be done ahead of time. It is actually best done ahead of time. So, when it is time to serve the meal, all I have to do is take the lid off and plunk a spoon in this—or tell someone else to do it!
I’ve even been known to put a spoon in ahead of time and put plastic wrap over it instead of a lid so all I need to do is take the wrap off; even easier!
Yes, I just love this recipe! I know you will too. 😊
