Ingredients

• 6 whole Fresh oranges
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the tops off the oranges about one-quarter of the way down and set the tops aside. Using a small paring knife or a spoon, carefully hollow out the pulp from each orange, leaving the outer shell intact. Reserve the orange pulp in a bowl.

Step 2

Place the empty orange shells and their tops in the freezer to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Using a fine mesh strainer, extract the juice from the reserved orange pulp by pressing it through the strainer into a clean bowl or measuring cup. You will need approximately 1 cup of fresh orange juice.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and orange juice until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the orange zest to enhance the citrus flavor.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the chilled orange shells, filling them to just below the rim. Place the orange tops back on each filled shell as a lid.

Step 7

Place the filled oranges on a tray and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is fully set and firm.

Step 8

When ready to serve, remove the orange cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with a mint leaf on the side, if desired, and serve immediately.
