Smooth Orange Jello Delight Recipe

Our Smooth Orange Jello Delight is a family favorite!

Is it a dessert? Is it a side dish? Honestly, I eat it for both.

We only bust out the jell-o recipes for special occasions at our house and this is probably the best jell-o recipe that I have ever tried.

Ingredients needed to make Smooth Orange Jello Delight:

  • 1 (6 ounce) box orange jello
  • 1 (4.3 ounce) box lemon cook and serve pudding
  • 5¼ cups water divided
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks beaten
  • whipped cream
  • mandarin oranges for garnish
  • bananas for garnish

Could I make this recipe using other jello flavors?

You could most definitely make this Jell-O using other flavors. Here are a few of our favorite:

-Raspberry
-Lime
-Lemon
-Strawberry
-Black Cherry
-Grape

Can I use instant pudding instead of cook and serve?

This particular recipe only works with cook and serve pudding mix.

It will not work with instant. It will have a hard time solidifying if you use instant pudding mix. It will have a totally different texture.

If you are looking for a recipe that calls for Instant Pudding mix, we recommend trying our Snicker’s Trifle.

That’s why we have created a Youtube Channel

    Looks delicious but would this work with a sweetener instead of the sugar? I'm thinking granulated Stevia.

    I know exactly what you mean about the sound of a bomb exploding. Been there done that, only I was at work and I was cooking for 20 hungry men ten minutes before they were to come in for lunch. I had just taken the casserole out of the oven and set it on top of the stove, I thought I'd quickly run to the laundry to fold some tea towels and luckily I was just out of the room when that happened. Terrifying to say the least, but a moment to remember. Love your blog...

    Equally as good with lime or raspberry or strawberry jello instead of orange !

    The instructions read *remove from oven* it should say stove or burner, you don't bake it in the oven. This is a great item to take to a potluck

    Hi Felicity. We haven't used a sugar substitute or sweetener in place of sugar in this recipe. So not sure how it would turn out.

    Thanks Linda for finding that error. We fixed the post. Stove top is correct! :)

    I followed this recipe to a "T" and even after a full 24hrs to set it never set up and was very runny/watery? Tastes good but not the texture its supposed to be. Anyone else had this happen??

    We have never had a problem with this setting up. Was your lemon pudding "cook and serve"? Instant pudding will not work with this recipe.
