Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually fold the cooled orange mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the fluffy texture.
Divide the mixture evenly into dessert cups or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm.
Garnish with extra orange zest or a slice of orange before serving, if desired. Enjoy this delightful, citrusy treat!
