Orange Jack-O-Lanterns
No-sugar-added orange jack-o-lanterns filled with a creamy cottage cheese and cream cheese mousse sweetened with dates and vanilla, set in carved orange shells for a fun Halloween treat. Makes 3 servings with no refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 naval oranges
- 1 packet of gelatin powder
- 500 ml 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/2 brick 4 oz or 120g cream cheese
- 5 dates
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut off the tops of the oranges and scoop out the flesh. Place the flesh and packet of gelatin in a blender and blend until smooth-ish.
- Pour into a microwave safe dish and microwave on high until bubbling (or heat on stove).
- Return to blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth then pour into a lidded container and place in fridge.
- Meanwhile, carve faces into your oranges using a sharp paring knife.
- Once the fluff has set a bit... like a marshmallow salad (this will take a few hours), scoop and fill the oranges. You will have extra fluff :)
