Hey y’all & Happy Wednesday! I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I am loving everyone being on Spring Break this week, even if I’m not haha.
Seriously, my never ending morning/afternoon commute has literally been cut in half, aah, so nice, I wish everyone could just go on break for forever just a little bit longer. It’s like everyone & their mother has left the city for parts unknown, so basically it takes me a quick second to get everywhere (the store, the gym, etc.), so awesome. Sorry, I know I’m rambling about something that probably none most of you care about, but if you’ve ever driven in & around the ATL or LA then you feel me haha.
Anyways, on to what you’re probably really here for, dessert! So there are a couple of things that are super awesome about these Mandarin Delight Shots, firstly, these are stupid easy (like, super stupid) to make, secondly, they’re adorable (very reminiscent of Dr. Seuss according to my sis) & this is one of those dishes that could be dessert, but also a sweet side dish if you wanted to throw (or gently scoop) it into a giant bowl for your table instead of into little shots.
These little shots are fluffy, a little bit sweet, but not at all too sweet, soo good y’all. Well, I’m off to enjoy the extra couple hours I get in my day from my lack of commute this week & I just want to say thank you so much for stopping by!
Mandarin oranges into your bowl…
vanilla pudding mix…
Cool Whip (lots of it)…
mix, mix, mix…
and enjoy!!!
- 2 (15 Ounce) Cans of Mandarin Oranges In Light Syrup, Half Drained.
- 2 (3.4 Ounce) Packages of Vanilla Instant Pudding.
- 2 (8 Ounce) Containers of Cool Whip, Thawed.
- Shot glasses (Optional).
- Drain about half of the juice your Mandarin oranges are in, set aside.
- With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, place your oranges in your bowl.
- Now add your pudding mixes & whipped topping and mix together until well combined.
- Let your delight chill in the fridge for about an hour, then spoon or pipe your delight into your shot glasses & enjoy!
- I used a plastic baggie that I filled with the Mandarin Delight & snipped the bottom part of the baggie to pipe into my shot glasses.
- If you want this less fluffy, do not drain any of the Mandarin orange juice.
