TruMoo Chocolate flavored milk is a favorite drink at my house. Not only does it taste great, but TruMoo milk contains 8 essential nutrients. It is sweetened with just enough sugar, and contains no high fructose corn syrup. That’s something I can feel good about.

Orange Dream Dessert

Being a big fan of seasonal treats, I was so happy to see the new TruMoo Orange Scream in my local Walmart. It inspired me to come up with a new Halloween dessert recipe. It’s my take on the popular Orange Dream Dessert.

This recipe pulls from some of my favorite desserts. I used the pretzel crust from a strawberry gelatin salad that I sometimes make, and the orange gelatin and mandarin orange layer from congealed salad that I make every Christmas. I can’t believe I have never shared those recipes with you…. coming soon.

The top layer of my Orange Dream Dessert is made with vanilla pudding and you guessed it – TruMoo Orange Scream. A little whipped topping finishes it all off.

Orange "Scream" Dream Dessert

Ingredients:

  • pretzel crust:
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • ¾ cup butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp. white sugar

Bottom Layer:

  • 6 ounce box orange gelatin
  • 2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments, undrained
  • 2 cups boiling water

Second Layer:

  • 2 (3.4 oz.) packages vanilla instant pudding
  • 3 cups TruMoo Orange Scream

 Topping:

  • 1 (8 oz.) container whipped topping

    This looks very similar to a lemon dessert my mil makes. This is nearly the orange equivalent. Looks yummy!
