Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 large Navel or Valencia oranges
  • 2 tablespoons agar-agar powder
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Wash oranges thoroughly and zest to gather two tablespoons of zest.
  2. Juice the oranges until you have two cups of juice.
  3. In a saucepan, add orange juice and sprinkle agar-agar powder. Let it sit for five minutes.
  4. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for three minutes.
  5. Add coconut cream, agave nectar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until homogeneous.
  6. Stir in the reserved orange zest.
  7. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.
  8. Pour the strained liquid into molds or glass jars.
  9. Let set at room temperature for twenty minutes, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
  10. Unmold and garnish with mint or orange slice before serving.

Notes

Make sure to boil the agar-agar properly to ensure it sets. Chill molds for faster setting. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to five days.
