"Why not cool off this summer with the fresh taste of spiced oranges and ice cream? This would be a great ending to a summer barbecue or pool party and presents beautifully in the orange shell. The dessert can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the freezer and fridge until you're ready to serve it."

Yum! This dessert would be great year round-the spices are perfect. I served this with the sauce a little warmed. Love it. Thanks!

This is delicious! I love the combination of orange and spices. And what lovely presentation! I served this over frozen rice milk for a refreshing and different dessert. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for a great recipe, Dreamgoddess.
