Ingredients

• 4 large Fresh oranges
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Wash the oranges thoroughly. Slice off the tops of the oranges and scoop out the flesh and juice using a spoon, being careful not to damage the orange shells. Set the shells aside to use as serving bowls.

Step 2

Step 2: Place the scooped-out orange flesh in a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Press with a spoon to extract the juice. Add this juice to the 1 cup of orange juice. Ensure you have a total of 1 1/4 cups of orange juice.

Step 3

Step 3: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups of orange juice and 1/4 cup water to the mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 4

Step 4: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled orange mixture until smooth and combined.

Step 6

Step 6: Spoon the orange dessert mixture into the reserved orange shells or serving bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 7

Step 7: Before serving, garnish with mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your Refreshing Orange Dessert!
