Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 high-speed blender or food processor
- 1 loaf pan or something similar
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen orange slices *Peel oranges, lay slices on a plate and freeze for at least 2-4 hours.
- ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks *I purchase them from Trader Joe's
- 1 can full-fat coconut cream *Place in the fridge the night before
- 2-3 tablespoons orange juice *Plant based milk or water can work as a substitute
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional
- 2-3 tablespoons finely shredded coconut
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until it is completely smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of additional orange juice as needed to get it to the desired consistency.
- Eat immediately or grab a loaf pan or a rectangular deep airtight container and pour the blended mixture into the dish. Use a spatula to smooth it out into one layer. Add a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about an hour to 1.5 hours. Then, it will be ready to eat.
Notes
I highly recommend eating this nice cream right away or within 1.5 hours in the freezer.
It will become hard after two hours in the freezer and the texture will change, even if thawed.
I recommend placing the can of coconut cream in the fridge and the oranges in the freezer the night before making this recipe.
You can substitute coconut cream with a can of coconut milk, if needed.
