Impress your guests with this simple yet elegant after-dinner treat. Hollowed out oranges make the perfect vessels for a refreshing sorbet.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 6
6 large oranges, uniform in size
4 cups any flavor sorbet
So Easy
Oranges can be made and filled several days in advance, if needed, making them ideal for larger dinner parties. Just slip into the kitchen as your guests finish their entrées, pull the prepared fruits
out of the freezer, and you’ll be the star of the party with very little effort involved.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Remove and reserve the top third of the orange (opposite the stem). Using a grapefruit knife, remove the flesh and pulp from the center of the fruit, taking care not to puncture the rind. (You may choose
to use this removed fruit to make your sorbet.)
2. Carefully level off the bottom of each orange using a sharp knife. Again, do not cut all the way through the orange, the “cup” needs to remain intact. This bottom cut will make the orange sit up straight and not fall over.
3. Fill each orange with sorbet, then replace the top. Wrap each in plastic and return to freezer. Remove 5 minutes before serving.
