How to Prepare

1

Slice the top off each orange and hollow out the flesh with a spoon, keeping the shells whole.

2

Squeeze the flesh and keep the fresh juice.

3

Whip the liquid cream with the whipping powder and sugar until firm peaks form.

4

Fold in the fresh orange juice gradually until the cream is smooth and orange-scented.

5

Fill the empty orange shells with the mixture, put the tops back on and freeze for at least 4 hours.

6

Slice into wedges through the peel and serve straight from the freezer.

Chef Noor's Tip

Add the juice a little at a time after the cream is whipped — too much liquid at once can deflate it.
