Origin:	St. Clair Ice Cream in Connecticut
Ingredients:	See bottom of page

Available in two flavors:
Orange Sherbet with Orange Liqueur
Orange Sherbet (non-alcoholic) 

The orange is a classic symbol of the holidays from the early days when citrus fruit was a rare delicacy. These sherbet oranges are available in a grown up version with an orange liqueur center and a kid-friendly version that is just pure sherbet.

To make these desserts, orange sherbet is tempered, then hand-formed into a orange shape using traditional ice cream molding techniques. The faux fruits are then hand-glazed with ice for surface decoration, a delightful crunch, and slower melting on the plate. The molding process removes much of the air normally found in sherbet, concentrating its flavor. 

Each orange is roughly 2.5 inches in diameter and can be used as a small single serving.  

St. Clair Ice Cream has been crafting these gorgeous desserts for weddings, fancy dinners, and other gatherings for over 22 years. The techniques they use for this dying art are far older, passed down to them by one of the last small artisanal molded ice cream shops.

Caution: St. Clair ice creams ship with dry ice, which means that the temperature is significantly below freezing. Therefore, the ice creams will be very hard when taken straight of the box. Please let the ice creams sit in the freezer for a couple hours or on the counter for a few minutes before biting into them. Further, do not handle dry ice with your bare hands. Use gloves and place dry ice in the sink, away from children, where it can melt safely. Ice creams are produced in a facility that processes nuts and eggs.

Storage: Upon receiving your molded sherbet oranges, remove them from their dry ice packaging, and immediately transfer them to an airtight container in your freezer. Do not remove them from the cold until minutes before serving them. If you must move them to another freezer, do so in a cooler with plenty of ice.

Shelf Life: Use within three weeks for best quality.

Serve these sherbet oranges as a festive light dessert at your next party or holiday gathering. If you want to make the dessert even more interesting, try pairing them with a single small piece of high quality dark chocolate to contrast the orange’s look on the plate as well as its flavor.

Keep them in your freezer until a few minutes prior to consumption (they will be too hard to eat straight from the freezer). Direct contact with metal will cause them to melt faster. If your bowls, plates or platters are metal, put an insulating layer underneath the ice cream/sorbet like a cloth, food safe leaf, or edible flower petals. They would also look beautiful served on eco-friendly disposable palm leaf plates or bowls.
