Ingredients

– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
– 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained (reserve juice)
– 1 package (3.4 oz) instant orange pudding mix
– 2 cups milk
– 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating the delicious Orange Dreamsicle Lush is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Set it aside.

2. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until well blended and smooth.

3. Add Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

4. Prepare Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the instant orange pudding mix and milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour this mixture over the cream cheese layer.

5. Add Oranges: Sprinkle the drained mandarin oranges over the pudding layer, distributing them evenly.

6. Top Layer: Spread a final layer of whipped topping over the mandarin oranges, smoothing it out for an even look.

7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.

8. Garnish: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

9. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled.
