Time 3h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray
One 6-ounce packet orange gelatin
One 8-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice
One 11-ounce can mandarin oranges in light syrup
1 cup orange sherbet
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Spray a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the gelatin in a medium bowl.
  • Strain the pineapple and mandarin oranges, reserving the liquid in a large measuring cup. Set the fruit aside. Add enough water to the fruit juices to equal 2 cups. Transfer the juice mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Pour the hot juice mixture over the gelatin and whisk to dissolve. Add the orange sherbet and stir until fully melted and combined.
  • Add the sour cream and beat with an electric mixture until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into the mold and add the reserved mandarins and pineapples, making sure to distribute the fruit evenly throughout. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 3 hours up to overnight.
  • Carefully dip the mold in hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Remove and place a platter over the top of the mold. Invert onto the platter and serve.
