Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Base
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream Use chilled for the best results; coconut milk can be a substitute but will yield a less creamy outcome.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice Freshly squeezed is recommended, but store-bought can work in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest Do not skip for the best taste.
For Sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup Maple syrup can be used for a vegan version; adjust based on the sweetness of the oranges.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances flavors.

Equipment

  • blender

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering your ingredients and place chilled coconut cream, fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt into your blender. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. Taste the creamy mixture to see if it meets your desired level of sweetness. If it needs a little more sweetness, add a touch more honey or maple syrup. Blend for an additional 10 seconds to incorporate any adjustments.
  3. Once your mixture is perfectly blended and sweetened, pour it into clear glasses or bowls, showcasing the beautiful orange hue. Cover each container with plastic wrap or a lid, and chill them in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  4. Just before serving, remove the tempting Refreshing Coconut Orange Glow from the fridge. For a beautiful final touch, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of orange zest or a few coconut flakes.
