Orange cream fruit is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tanginess of oranges with the sweetness of cream. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 4 oranges
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oranges:
- Wash the oranges thoroughly under running water.
- Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the oranges, removing all the white pith.
- Slice the oranges horizontally into rounds, then cut each round into half-moons or smaller segments as desired. Remove any seeds.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until it starts to thicken.
- Add powdered sugar gradually while continuing to whip. Whip until soft peaks form.
- Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can turn into butter.
- Add Flavor:
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Assemble:
- Arrange the orange segments in serving bowls or glasses.
- Spoon the whipped cream over the oranges, covering them completely.
- Chill and Serve:
- Place the assembled dessert in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving for an extra touch of freshness.
- Enjoy!
- Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of tangy oranges and sweet cream.
Tips:
- For added texture and flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios) over the whipped cream before serving.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can use whipped coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- This dessert is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
