Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut cream
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Garnish
- Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Zest the Orange: Use a microplane or fine grater to zest one orange. Set the zest aside for blending and garnish.
- Juice the Orange: Squeeze the orange juice and measure out 1/2 cup (120 ml) of freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the coconut cream, fresh orange juice, honey or agave syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes until silky smooth. Pause halfway to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even mixing.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the mixture and add more honey or orange juice if needed to reach your preferred sweetness level.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut and a sprinkle of reserved orange zest for added texture and color.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
- Ensure the coconut cream is unsweetened to control the sweetness of the dessert.
- Chilling time is important for the flavors to develop and for a refreshing texture.
- For extra texture, lightly toast the shredded coconut before garnishing.
- This dessert is best served cold and consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
