How to Make Cranberry Orange Dream
- In a large bowl, sprinkle 1 (3 ounce) package of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1 (14 ounce) can of cranberry sauce until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup of cold water.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens.
- Gently fold in 1 (11 ounce) can of mandarin oranges, drained.
- Meanwhile, prepare the crust: In a 13x9-inch baking dish, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix well.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
- Refrigerate the crust until ready to fill.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of milk using a wire whisk until completely smooth. (Helpful hint: Soften cream cheese by microwaving on high for 15-20 seconds).
- Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Carefully spoon the cranberry-orange gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Just before serving, spread or dollop the remaining 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping over the top.
