Frozen Jack O'Lanterns Recipe - Halloween Recipe

User Rating No reviews yet Be the first to Write a Review

From Cheryl Miller, Fort Collins, CO, for About.com

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

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
