I'm a big fan of dessert, whether it's to finish off dinner or just indulge at any time. After the holiday season, I prefer my sweets to be lighter but still enjoyable. That's where this shaved sumo orange dessert comes in.
Sumo oranges are a seasonal delight in my home, and I love finding new ways to enjoy them this time of year. This simple dessert is so adaptable and really allows you to customize it based on what you have. Just freeze your fruit and you're set!
Ingredients for Shaved Sumo Orange and Yogurt
Sumo oranges. Simply peel and freeze them in an airtight container overnight. Navel oranges or clementines can also be substituted!
Dairy free yogurt. Choose a dairy free option to pair well with the citrus.
Nuts of your choice. I love using pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts, but feel free to get creative!
Dark chocolate. A drizzle adds a delightful chocolate touch, but it's entirely optional.
Tips for Crafting this Dessert
This dessert is super easy, but a few tips can enhance the experience.
- Peel your oranges first. I've made the mistake of freezing whole oranges, and it's a hassle. Peel them and store in an airtight container or wrap them securely for easy access.
- Boost your yogurt with vanilla. While vanilla yogurt is an option, adding a splash of real vanilla extract or a sprinkle of powdered vanilla gives a richer and warmer flavor.
- Experiment with toppings. Use chopped nuts, granola, or fresh fruit for added texture. I prefer crunchy toppings, but anything you have will work!
