Here’s a lighter, tangy version of the classic Orange Fluff using Greek yogurt. It’s creamy, refreshing, and perfect as a dessert or snack!
Ingredients (6–8 servings)
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional garnish: extra mandarin slices or a sprinkle of chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prepare Pudding:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it set for 5 minutes. - Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, fold together the Greek yogurt, drained mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and vanilla extract. - Add Pudding:
Gently fold in the prepared pudding until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and fluffy. - Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly. - Serve:
Spoon into bowls or a serving dish and garnish with extra mandarin slices or chopped nuts if desired.
✅ Tips:
- For a lighter version, use low-fat Greek yogurt.
- For extra fluff, fold in 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping.
- Can be made a day ahead—flavors actually improve after chilling overnight.
If you like, I can also give a tangy version using orange zest and juice for a fresher, more “citrusy” flavor that really pops. Do you want me to do that?
