Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 85 grams Orange-flavored gelatin powder
- 240 ml Boiling water
- 240 ml Chilled water
- 120 ml Fresh orange juice
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 8 pieces Fresh orange segments (for garnish)
- 8 pieces Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin powder in 240 ml of boiling water in a large bowl. Stir until completely dissolved, then mix in 240 ml of chilled water and 120 ml of fresh orange juice. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: In another mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers with the melted butter. Mix until well coated. Press this mixture into the base of an 8x8-inch square pan or a pie dish to form a crust. Set aside.
Step 3: Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled gelatin mixture and orange zest. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4: Pour the orange cream mixture over the prepared biscuit crust. Use a spatula to spread evenly.
Step 5: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set.
Step 6: Once set, slice the orange delight into 8 servings. Garnish each piece with a fresh orange segment and a mint leaf.
Step 7: Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, citrusy Orange Delight Dessert!
