Orange Creamsicle Fluff

Gluten Free Living – 2023

Orange Creamsicle Fluff is one of those outrageously delicious salads that you’ll swoon over. No kidding. And I’ve got the goods to back up such an outlandish statement! This amazing salad has it all. It’s smooth and creamy. The flavors are divine. It has delightful texture from the fruit, marshmallows and pecans. Plus, it’s sweet enough to enjoy for a dessert. Oh my.

I signed up to bring a couple of side dishes to an Empty Nesters’ Potluck at our church the end of February. I made Creamy Sweet Corn, Cheesy Green Bean Casserole and this delightful salad. I ended up dropping our stuff off at the hostess’s and we left town to attend a Trustee meeting with former co-workers, colleagues and friends. That was a wonderful few days of enjoying time with people we hadn’t seen in quite some time.

When we got back home the hostess dropped off all of our crockpots and other dishes and told me everything was a hit. I can tell you that I, personally, loved this Orange Creamsicle Fluff. (The cook always gets a sample!) 🙂 The salad turned out amazing well. I thought the combination of flavors and texture outstanding.

This salad has several steps so make sure you read the directions a couple of times. Two or three times you have to refrigerate for 15 minutes or so at a time at different stages of the process. Still, it’s one of the best fluffy salads I’ve ever eaten. I think you’ll find it so as well.
