Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing.

I prefer using white cheddar cheese in this recipe, but yellow cheddar or a similar cheese could be used.

I have just one warning: these go fast, so be sure to make enough…or get yours early 🙂

  2. Thank you for asking! I have added the amount of shrimp to the ingredient list. I usually use a cup of chopped shrimp for this recipe at most, often it is probably closer to 3/4 of a cup.

Trackbacks

  1. […] I developed a couple of versions of shrimp filling for stuffed mushrooms because my husband can’t eat soft cheeses, like cream cheese, due to his milk allergy. He loves stuffed mushrooms and shrimp, therefore I had to come up with a second, cream cheese-less version. […]
