Description
A refreshing, creamy, and dairy-free orange soft serve made with frozen oranges, vanilla ice cream, and a touch of honey, perfect for a tropical, guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
2 cups frozen orange segments (peeled and seedless)
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (or coconut milk ice cream for dairy-free)
1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Freeze the oranges: Peel and segment fresh oranges, then freeze them for at least 4–6 hours or overnight. Alternatively, use store-bought frozen orange slices.
- Blend everything: Combine frozen orange segments, ice cream, orange juice, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more orange juice if too thick.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 1 hour for a firmer consistency. Optionally, pipe into a swirl using a piping bag for a classic Dole Whip look.
Notes
Use coconut milk ice cream for a dairy-free and vegan version.
For a creamsicle flavor, add extra vanilla extract.
Add frozen pineapple or mango for a tropical twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer up to 2 days; thaw 10 minutes before serving and stir.
Honey or maple syrup is optional depending on sweetness preference.
Frozen oranges are key for achieving the soft-serve texture.
