Frozen Oranges

I've been making this recipe for close on 30 years. It's great, but only as great as the ice-cream you use. Don't be tempted to use any more liqueur as the alcohol stops the ice-cream setting (I've tried!) These are wonderful for a dinner party.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  oranges
• 1  liter vanilla ice cream (the best you are prepared to buy)
• 150  ml  orange juice concentrate
• 3  tablespoons Grand Marnier (or other orange flavoured liqueur)

Directions

1. Remove a"lid" from the top of each orange (retain the lid).
2. Carefully remove all the pulp from the orange-I use a dessertspoon to do this.
3. Allow the ice-cream to soften for a minute or two, then working quickly, stir through the liqueur and concentrate and fill the orange shells with this mix.
4. Replace the lids.
5. Freeze for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
6. Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving so they go frosty.
7. These look good with a sprig of orange or lemon leaves poked into the top before serving*note-don't be tempted to use the pulp in place of the concentrate, the flavour is all wrong.
8. Use the pulp for juicing or something.
