List of Ingredients



• 4 pounds juice oranges (about 12)
  
• 1 Tbsp plus 1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin, from 2 envelopes
  
• 5 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1 cup (heavy) whipping cream
  
• Garnish: orange slices
  






Instructions



1. Grate 4 teaspoons orange zest. Wrap 1 teaspoon; set aside. Juice the oranges to make 3 cups juice. Pour 1/2 cup into a small saucepan, and sprinkle in gelatin; let stand for 2 minutes. Stir the mixture over low heat (a silicone spatula is good) until it is steaming and the gelatin is completely dissolved.
   
   
2. Stir in 3 tablespoons sugar. When dissolved, pour into remaining juice. Stir in 3 teaspoons zest. Pour into 8-inch square baking pan; refrigerate 2 hours, or until firm.
   
   
3. Up to 4 hours before serving:
   Whip cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Stir in reserved 1 teaspoon zest. Cut gelatin into 1-inch squares. Using a spatula, place half the squares in the glasses, and top them with half the cream. Repeat layers. If desired, garnish with orange slices.
