A low-cal/healthy dessert that is a great way to use strawberries when in season. This makes extra strawberry ice that can be used in extra orange shells or for another meal. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (January 1985) Ingredients:
4 cups strawberries, hulled or 4 cups frozen strawberries, unthawed |
4 oranges |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 egg white |
4 strawberries, garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut the 4 cups of fresh strawberries in half and arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze until firm (2 hours) - obviously if using frozen berries you skip this step.
2. Cut off upper third of each orange. Hollow out shells and set shells aside. The orange pulp can be used for another use.
3. Using a food processor chop berries with the sugar using on/off turns, then process until slushy (5 minutes).
4. With machine running, add lemon juice and egg whites through the feed tube and mix until light and thick (2-3 minutes).
5. Spoon 1/2 cup strawberry ice into each orange shell.
6. Freeze for at least 1 hour but can be prepared up to 3 days in advance - if frozen solid let soften in refrigerator before serving.
7. Top each serving with a whole strawberry if desired.
