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.
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
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Stir together crushed pretzels, melted butter and 3 tablespoons sugar; mix well and press mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Bake 8 – 10 minutes until set. Set aside to cool.
Pour 2 cups boiling water on orange-flavored gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Gradually stir gelatin mixture into cream cheese. Refrigerate until thickened slightly but not set. Stir in orange segments; pour evenly over pretzel crust. Refrigerate until almost firm.
Beat vanilla pudding and TruMoo Orange Scream flavored milk with a whisk for about 2 minutes. Spread over the gelatin layer and refrigerate until set.
Spread whipped topping over the top, cut into squares and serve.
This dessert is so good I could just SCREAM! Pun intended. The little bits of mandarin orange are a nice surprise, and the TruMoo Orange Scream give this dessert the perfect orange color and flavor for Halloween.
I want to show you the color of the TruMoo Orange Scream in a glass, so you can really see the color of it. Doesn’t it make you think of an orange dreamsicle? Your kids are going to love this!

This sounds and looks amazing indeed. I will have to for sure make this Orange Scream Dream dessert. Thanks for sharing.
Yum. This looks good. I have been searching high and low for this and cannot find it anywhere.
I still haven’t tried the TruMoo Orange Cream yet, but that dessert looks delish!
I’m going to have to make this today! I just bought some TruMoo Orange Cream the other day.
This looks really good, I’d really like to try making it, thank you for sharing!
Yum! Those look so good! I will have to save this and try those. I’m sure my Nana would love them!
This looks delicious and perfect for my upcoming Halloween parties!
Wow! This post made me hungry. I’m a sweet tooth and I’m digging this dessert. I’ll bookmark this one and hope I can make this at home.
That looks delicious: light, creamy and refreshing!! It would be perfect on a warm summer day. I wish I had found this recipe a little sooner, since I recently purchased the TruMoo Orange Scream for making shakes, and didn’t use the leftover milk in time and had to toss. But now that I have this recipe, I will always have a use for the excess milk!! Thanks, I’ll be making this real soon.
This looks good! I’m definitely going to have to try it someday. Yummm.
