Folding in the Cream (2 minutes):
Gently fold the Cool Whip into the gelatin mixture until you have a smooth and creamy consistency.
Adding the Fruit and Marshmallows (2 minutes):
Carefully fold in the drained mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
