WEIGHT WATCHERS ORANGE FLUFF

Orange Fluff also called Orange Delight, Weight Watchers Dessert, or “The Orange Stuff.” Cool Whip, Mandarin Oranges, Jell-O and marshmallows! I know this orange fluff recipe a 3 points value on the Weight Watchers points scale. I don’t actually adhere to a Weight Watchers diet but I still gobble this stuff up! Weight Watchers Orange Fluff

CAN I USE SUGAR-FREE OPTIONS?

I don’t think of this as a diet dessert at all. It is light, refreshing and it satisfies any sweet tooth. Also, you can certainly use sugar-free Jell-O and sugar-free Cool Whip options.

DO I HAVE TO USE COTTAGE CHEESE IN ORANGE FLUFF?

Don’t let the list of ingredients deter you. I know lots of folks gag at the thought of cottage cheese being in this. Most folks don’t taste the cottage cheese as a separate ingredient in this. Unless they know it’s in there, a lot of people can’t really put their finger on what is different about this. It just blends together with the other flavors to create a slightly textured dessert – if that makes sense. But if you just absolutely cannot stand the thought of putting it in there – try substituting with plain yogurt.Weight Watchers Orange Fluff recipe from The Country Cook #healthy #salads
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
small-curd cottage cheese
orange Jell-O
can of mandarin oranges
whipped topping (COOL WHIP)
mini marshmallows
chopped pecans

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE ORANGE FLUFF:

Combine container of cottage cheese with the orange jell-o packet. Stir until well mixed. Add in the well-drained can of mandarin oranges and the tub of Cool Whip. Stir. Now stir in the marshmallows and pecans. Store in the refrigerator and allow to get nice and cool. If you were to eat it right away, it would taste grainy from the Jell-O. But give it at least a couple of hours and the flavors will really come together and blend nicely. This is definitely a dessert you can make the day before you need it.Weight Watchers Orange Fluff

 Enjoy!

    This is the best desert my mom ever made and trust me she has made many many many different types of deserts before but this one has always been my favorite!

    I make my orange fluff with orange jello mix, drained Mandarin oranges, cool whip. Marshmallows I'll have to try with.

    I love this stuff. I grew up with it called 'fluff', and would usually eat so much of it that I got sick…lol. Only differences are that I add pineapple and use strawberry jello instead of orange.

    Our family has made this for years, as salad that could be a desert. The only difference is we have never put in marshmallow or walnuts. We mix the cool whip the cottage cheese together then add the jello then the mandarin oranges. We sometimes add pineapple into the dish but most folks seem to eat more of it when I leave it out.

    I just came across your recipe through Pinterest. I would like to know if it would affect the recipe if I used low-fat cottage cheese and a sugar free jell-o? Please advise. Thank you
    P.S.
    I am still making this either way, it looks so refreshing. Thank you

    I hope I am not repeating this but I used sugar free Jello and sugar free whipped cream and fat free cottage cheese and I think I saved some calories and the flavors were still GREAT!
    Thank you,
    Margot

      Hi Jennifer! I don’t follow a diabetic diet. It might all depend if you are Type 1 or Type 2 and whether you are on medication, etc. I would always consult your doctor about diet information or refer to a trusted source for that information. I just don’t want to steer you wrong!

        I am diabetic and I make it with 2 cans of mandarin oranges, sugar free jello and no marshmallows

    If you don’t like cottage cheese try it with fat free cream cheese. Just make sure its soft. That’s how I make it.

    I just started WW and they’re doing this new points system. It looks like the recipe now is 10 points? Unless you mean to use low fat or non fat cottage cheese/cool whip? Please let me know. This looks so yummy!

    I made this but I made it with raspberries and raspberry Jell-o since that was what I had on hand. It was soooooo good. Oh and thanks for the tip about using cream cheese. as I am not a fan of cottage cheese and already had some cream cheese in the fridge.

    My daughter is basically on a low or no carb and sugar free eating plan. We have found it is very easy to replace regular Cool Whip with the Sugar Free Cool Whip and Sugar Free instant pudding or SF Jello, eliminate the marshmallows, rinse and drain the fruit ……….and….you still have a very tasty dessert (salad) . Granted it may not work for everyone, but everything has gotten “thumbs up” at our Holiday meals so far!!

    I would love to try this recipe but I have a hang up. I can’t handle cottage cheese. The texture gets me every time. I just can’t stand it! Is there anything that could replace it??
