Instructions:
- Prepare the Orange Juice: Squeeze the juice from 5-6 medium oranges until you have about 2 and 1/2 cups (600ml) of juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or large bits of pulp for a smoother dessert.
- Mix Cornstarch: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of the orange juice to create a slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Heat the Mixture: Pour the rest of the orange juice into a saucepan and add the honey. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Thicken the Dessert: Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan while continuously stirring. Keep stirring over medium heat until the mixture thickens. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Cool and Set: Once thickened, pour the mixture into dessert cups or a mold. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until set. This will take about an hour.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with desiccated coconut, candied cherries, and mint leaves for an extra touch of flavor and elegance.
Enjoy your quick, easy, and guilt-free dessert!
