Anywhere you would serve a fruit salad, you could definitely have this! My kids like to have this plain, nothing but a bowl and a spoon, and eat it like ice cream. Nothing wrong with that! It’s delicious on its own and goes great with other dishes, both sweet and savory!
Variations
If you are like me, I want to make this orange creamsicle salad all the time! But my kids like it when I change things up. Here are a few ideas on how you can mix this salad up to keep it new and fresh every time!
Flavor: This doesn’t have to be orange-flavored! Try using raspberry, cherry, strawberry, or even pineapple jello! Then, use that same fresh fruit in it to amplify the delicious taste.
Marshmallows: My kids love anything that is rainbow colored so sometimes we mix it up and use the rainbow mini marshmallows instead!
Nuts: If you want to add in a little bit of texture, try adding in some chopped pecans or walnuts.
How to Store Leftovers:
This orange creamsicle salad makes perfect leftovers because it tastes best after it’s chilled anyways! Place any leftover salad in an airtight container and store it in your refrigerator. It will last about 3-4 days. Give it a good stir before you serve it!
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
It is actually best to make this fluff recipe ahead of time. It gives the salad time to let all the flavors mingle and combine together for an even tastier dessert.
Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
