Iced oranges

I was looking for a light dessert to finish our New Year's Eve dinner and came across this recipe in one of my mum's magazines. It seemed pretty easy, with only 3 ingredients and no need for an ice cream maker (some kind of food processor is required though). I have always loved iced oranges but had never thought of making them before. Now I wonder why since it is so easy to make and so delicious to eat! It will surely become a winter classic :)


Ingredients


- 6 oranges
- 50 g of icing sugar (sieved)
- 1 egg white

Directions


1/ Cut the top of the oranges and scoop out the flesh. Put the empty shells (bottom and top) in the freezer.

2/ Squeeze the flesh of the oranges and sieve to keep only the juice. Place the juice in some freezing bags (they should stay fairly thin) and lay the bags flat in the freezer for at least 4 hours (overnight is good). 

3/ When the juice is frozen, take it out of the bags and pour in a food processor with the icing sugar. Blend until you get a granita texture. Add the egg white and blend again. Fill the oranges shells with the preparation and close with the tops. Put back in the freezer for a few hours.

4/ Take out of the freezer 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
