This marbled dessert is pretty to look at and delicious to eat! Made with orange soda, mandarin oranges, gelatin, and cream, this is a refreshing and tasty end to a meal.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a large bowl. Stir to dissolve and let sit for 1 minute.
Pour the boiling water with the sugar over the gelatin and stir for 2 minutes to ensure that the sugar has completely dissolved.
Pour in the orange soda and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9 × 13-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is firmly set.
Remove the gelatin from the fridge and cut into 1/4 × 1/2-inch rectangles. Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
Place the gelatin pieces into the pan, spreading them out. Add the mandarin chunks around the gelatin pieces.
