Orange Whip

  Looking for a cool, easy dessert recipe? Here is a very good one. From the Taste of Home’s Budget Suppers, the recipe for Orange whip was easy to make and tasted great. We had it with whipped cream on top.

  I started out with squeezing oranges, but after six only gave me about a cup of juice, I added Tropicana orange juice for the rest of the juice. Worked fine. I did put a small amount of orange peel in to add a little more fresh flavor. All bottled orange juice would work well also. A small amount of orange zest or lemon zest would perk it up.

  Orange Whip

1 - ¾ cups hot orange juice (150°)

Whipped topping if desired

  In a mixing bowl, combine the gelatin, sugar and salt’ add the hot orange juice and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Chill until slightly thickened, about 1 -½ hours.
