Fresh oranges are hollowed out and filled with chocolate ice cream and a cinnamon stick to resemble jack-o'-lanterns. These are cute for Halloween, but also work well for all-occasion party desserts if you skip the facial carving step.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 navel oranges
- 1 gallon dark chocolate or fudge ice cream
- 24 whole cinnamon sticks
Preparation:
Cut off the top of the oranges. Gently hollow out the pulp, leaving a thick shell. Hollow pulp out of cut-off tops too. Cut Jack-O'Lantern faces into each orange.
Pack scoops of ice cream into shells (try to avoid letting ice cream ooze out of eyes or mouth). Cut a small hole in the top of each orange cap. Set tops back on over the ice cream and insert a cinnamon stick stem through the hole.
Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours or until serving time.
Yield: 24 desserts
