1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 large box orange Jello
1 envelope Dream Whip, prepared as directed on package
2 cups boiling water

Meanwhile place mandarin oranges in bottom of 9 x 13 glass pan or baking pan. Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Fold in prepared Dream Whip. Blend well with chilled, thickened Jello. Pour over oranges in pan.
