Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 pieces Orange slices
- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to bloom the gelatin and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it fully dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
While the orange mixture is cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled orange mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold in parts of the orange mixture in batches, ensuring a smooth and airy consistency.
Spoon the Double Orange Delight mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of mint for a pop of color and added freshness.
Enjoy your chilled Double Orange Delight!
