When creating the Frosty Citrus Bliss Cups, the first and most crucial ingredient is fresh orange juice. The difference between store-bought juice and freshly squeezed is like night and day. Fresh orange juice retains all the natural flavors and nutrients that can diminish in pre-packaged varieties due to processing. By using freshly squeezed juice, you not only enhance the taste of your dessert but also ensure that you are benefiting from the maximum amount of antioxidants and vitamins. This bright, tangy juice serves as the foundation for the refreshing flavor profile of the cups.

Ingredients
  

2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the orange juice, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

    Taste and Adjust: Give the mixture a taste test to see if it’s sweet enough for your liking. Add more honey or maple syrup if desired, and blend again.

      Fill Your Cups: Pour the orange cream mixture into small cups or molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.

        Freeze: Place the cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully solidified.

          Serve: To enjoy, remove from the freezer and let sit for a couple of minutes to soften slightly. You can then scoop it out with a spoon or serve it directly in the cup. If you’d like, sprinkle your choice of toppings over the top before serving.

            Get Creative: For a fun presentation, add a popsicle stick to the center of each cup halfway through the freezing process. This turns your creamsicle cups into ice pops!
