Ingredients

  • 10 count Twinkies halved lengthwise
  • 1 can mandarin oranges (15 oz) -- optional
  • 1 pack orange Jell-O, 3 oz or sugar free okay too
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz), or sugar free
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup French vanilla liquid coffee creamer, fat free okay
  • 1 container non-dairy whipped topping, 12 oz (can use light)

Instructions

  • Arrange the Twinkies cut side up in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  • If using, lay some drained mandarin oranges over Twinkies.
  • In a bowl, stir together the Jell-O and boiling water. When Jell-O is dissolved, put the mixture in the refrigerator to cool for 10 minutes. To hasten the process, drop in an ice cube - the extra liquid won't hurt anything.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the pudding mix, milk and coffee creamer for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the orange Jell-O/water mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Fold in two-thirds of the whipped topping. Pour orange mixture over the cut Twinkies. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6-8 hours. Before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top. Decorate thematically.

Notes

If you don't love mandarin oranges you can use a different fruit.
