Your favorite childhood ice cream treat becomes a refreshing and creamy potluck dessert. Orange Dreamsicle Lasagna will be the perfect addition to your Easter, Mother’s Day menu or any spring/summer gatherings.
I love those recipes that we all grew up with, and Dreamsicles have always been one of my favorite treats.
This Orange Dreamsicle Lasagna truly lives up to it’s name, it tastes EXACTLY like a Dreamsicle!
That combination of orange and vanilla is just so magical! I’ve recreated that magical combination in dessert form.
How? With JELLO and Pudding. It’s super simple to do and you get that fun contrast in colors in the actual dessert, and of course, flavor to any cake.

I cannot wait to make this. Looks so yummy.
Please tell me that I was suppose to mix the pudding according to the package directions!? That’s what I did. Don’t know he the 2 1/2 cups of milk goes that is listed in the ingredients. I just made this and it looks ok but a little “too jiggley”. I’m hoping it firms up.????
Please check the recipe and respond with the updated version. Thanks very much!
