Description

A refreshing and vibrant dessert that combines the flavors of orange sorbet and creamy coconut, perfect for a tropical treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh orange juice (about 45 oranges)
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat, chilled)
  • ½ cup condensed milk (or sugar, to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh orange zest (for garnish)
  • Sliced tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, or orange wedges, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend orange juice, orange zest, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Pour into a container and freeze for 3–4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until slushy, or churn in an ice cream maker.
  3. Whisk coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  4. In a freezer-safe container, alternate scoops of orange sorbet and coconut cream. Gently swirl with a knife for a marbled “sunrise” effect.
  5. Freeze for another 2–3 hours until firm.
  6. Scoop into bowls or cones. Sprinkle with fresh orange zest and add tropical fruit for extra flair.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar in the orange sorbet layer based on the sweetness of the oranges.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
  • Ensure the coconut milk is well-chilled for the best texture.
