Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Wash and dry the oranges thoroughly.
Slice off the top 1/3 of each orange (horizontally) and set the tops aside. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the inside of the oranges, being careful not to puncture the peel. Reserve the orange flesh and juice in a bowl.
Strain the orange juice from the pulp using a fine-mesh sieve and measure out 2 tablespoons of juice. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and the 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice until well combined.
Spoon or pipe the whipped cream mixture into the hollowed-out orange cups, filling them generously.
Place the tops of the oranges back onto each orange cup for presentation, if desired.
Chill the filled orange cups in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish each orange cup with a sprig of fresh mint before serving. Enjoy!
