Directions

Drain the mandarin oranges and reserve juice. Add water to the juice (if necessary) to make 1 cup of liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot water and 1 cup juice liquid. Dissolve gelatin in this mixture, and cool until it begins to set. Using an electric mixer, beat in sour cream and sherbet at medium speed until fluffy and well-blended. Gently stir in mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Pour mixture into ring mold or a 9 x 9 inch square pan and chill overnight.

"I used sugar free orange gelatin and reduced fat sour cream. I actually made these into freezer pops using dixie cups and popsicle sticks. HOLY FRIJOLES, was this SO. FREAKING. GOOD. All of us were "m..." See moremmm-ing" over this dessert, even my husband who swears up and down that he hates "dreamsicles". This is one of the best things I've had in a LONG time. NOTE: To make this a little easier to prepare, if you can soften your sherbet as much as you can without it going completely liquid and beat that in with the soft-set gelatin, then fold in the sour cream and fruit, it turns out a lot better. It dosen't get gross that way."

"This has been a huge hit both times I served it. I've made with and without the pineapple chunks. Absolutely delicious and very refreshing for spring/summer. Thanks, Susan!..." See more"
