Orange-Cream Cheese Salad Loaf

Ingredients

• 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange sections, drained
• 1 package (6 oz.) Jell-O gelatin, orange or lime flavor
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Steps

2. Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water.

4. Blend 1 cup of the gelatin into the softened cream cheese.
5. Pour the rest of the gelatin over the orange sections, then spread the creamy layer on top.
6. Chill 4 hours or overnight. Unmold and serve in slices.
