Creamy Mandarin Orange Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 ounce) package orange Jell-O
2 cups orange juice

Drain mandarin oranges, and set aside.
Heat, but do not boil orange juice.
In a large bowl, add jello and softened cream cheese.
Beat with a mixer until well blended, and creamy.
Continue to beat on a slower speed, and very slowly add the heated orange juice, a little at a time over the cream cheese mixture. Blend well, and mix together until smooth.
