This one comes from Mrs. Mast. : ) Last time they had all of us over I asked for one of her recipes. She handed me a binder and some recipe cards, and flipped to this one and said "This one is good, you write it down too." When a cook like Mrs. Mast tells you you need a recipe, you don't argue. I loved the Masts a ton and it makes me happy to be able to use several of her recipes. Now you can be happy eating orange salad too! You might want to play a round of Catch Phrase afterward.
3 c water
1 pkg cook and serve vanilla pudding
1 pkg cook and serve vanilla OR orange tapioca pudding
1 pkg orange jello
1 can mandarin oranges
8 oz whipped topping
Combine water and 3 mixes, bring to a boil, cook until thick, cool. Add oranges and whipped topping.
If you are one of the strange people in this family who labor under the delusion that you despise tapioca : ) , here are some thoughts. First, although the tapioca is visible when the cooking step is done, I don't recall any texture issues when it was completely done. I also can't see why you couldn't substitute plain vanilla pudding. Also, I usually use whipped cream in recipes calling for whipped topping, and it worked beautifully in this. However, I noticed that if you did use the whipped topping, you would have a pretty much dairyless recipe, which might be your thing if dairy is not your thing! : )

Mmmm, I vaguely remember this stuff! Anyone have Mrs. Mast's ice cream malt dessert recipe? :D That's my #1 Mast Memory food!
I don't remember Mrs. Mast actually feeding us this so maybe that happened when I wasn't there? Did She do the malt ice cream or are you thinking of Mrs. Kettalar's? I have her recipe.
HAHAHA! So much for my "Mast memory food" then, right? Um... I blame pregnancy brain! Did she have some sort of regular ice cream dessert thing she served us? Maybe I am just thinking of Mrs. Kettalar's!! Um, sure! I'd love that recipe one of these days :D.
