Orange Creamsicle Dream Dip
This Orange Creamsicle Dream Dip is a creamy, fluffy blend of cream cheese, whipped topping, orange gelatin, and mandarin oranges. When I am ready to serve this dessert dip, I top it with more mandarin oranges for a beautiful burst of color! Serve it chilled with shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers, or graham crackers for a sweet, refreshing treat, perfect for any occasion.
