Dreamsicle Pudding

Here is a recipe that is absolutely amazing.  It tastes just like a dreamsicle popsicle.  Take this recipe to a potluck for an instant hit but make sure to bring copies of the recipe.  Every time I take this anywhere, I am bombarded with requests for the recipe.  It is delicious and easy to make.

• 3 oz box of cooked vanilla pudding (do NOT buy the instant pudding, it does not work)
• 3 oz box orange jello
• 3 oz box of cooked tapioca pudding (do NOT buy the instant pudding, it does not work)
• 11 oz can of mandarin oranges
• 12 oz cool whip
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 cups milk

1. Cook together in a sauce pan on medium heat the orange juice, milk, orange jello mix, and both pudding mixes
2. Cook until the mixture is thick
3. Pour into a mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours
4. Mix in cool whip and mandarin oranges and ENJOY!

Tip: I like to make cooked mixture the night before and then mix in the oranges and cool whip before taking to a party or serving at home
