Notes
A couple of substitutions can be made. Use strawberry jello instead of orange jello if preferred.
And you can use Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream. Although, if using Cool Whip I recommend folding the gelatin mixture into the creamy part instead of beating it.
And if desired, you can fold in a can of well-drained mandarin oranges.
