Nothing beats a tangy citrus frozen treat on a hot summer day, and now that we’re getting a taste of some warmer temps, it’s time to get those recipes ready. You’ll want to add this Frozen Citrus Whip dessert recipe to your list, and to make it even better, get your hands on some Ojai Pixie Tangerines from Melissa’s Produce. Easy to peel, no seeds and perfectly sweet, they make a great addition to your grocery list.

Every few weeks, a group of fellow blogger friends receive a complimentary box of produce from Melissa’s Produce. We pick a theme, and our challenge is to each come up with a unique recipe that suits our cooking style and approach. It’s always fun to see what everyone comes up with!

This challenge, I came up with my easy Frozen Citrus Whip dessert. It only requires three ingredients: tangerines, a lemon, and vanilla bean ice cream. It’s simple to make, and only requires a little time. You do want to plan ahead, at least long enough to freeze the tangerine sections. The more solid they are, the more solid the ice cream will be.

Even better, this whip can be made into a citrus shake if you prefer. You can also sub in regular oranges, but you’d be missing out. (Just don’t let that stop you!) One other substitution is regular vanilla ice cream, but the vanilla bean adds just another layer of flavor.

Ojai Pixie Tangerines are great to add to kids’ lunches, throw in a gym bag or snack on while binging on Netflix…not that I’d know about that last one, of course. The peel comes off easy, and it takes just a few seconds to remove any extraneous pith, that white stuff between the tangerines and the peel. The sections literally melt in your mouth, so there’s no worries about freezing the sections and blending whole. You end up with zero chunks in your whip, but you do get some gorgeous little specks of orange next your vanilla bean. It’s a treat that tastes good AND looks good.

Frozen Citrus Whip

Ingredients

  • 10 Ojai Pixie Tangerines
  • 1 cup vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1 Meyer Lemon

Instructions

  1. Juice the lemon into a one-cup measurement.

  2. Juice enough tangerines to make one cup of juice, including the lemon juice. Refrigerate until needed. (Alternatively, freeze it so it's as cold as possible.)

  3. Peel the remainder of the Ojai Pixie Tangerines. Freeze the sections. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups of tangerine sections.)

  4. Put the juice, the frozen tangerine sections, and the ice cream into a blender. Whir until at your desired consistency.

I made this Frozen Citrus Whip dessert today, mid-day, on a cold-ish May day in Southern California. The sun was out, I was going to sit…in my sweater…and enjoy it on the patio. Then the rain started and any sun we’d had went away, taking with it the good light.

I fancied it up with a bit with the martini glass, because this dessert comes together fast and can be quickly poured into whatever bowl you want — but why not a pretty receptacle like a cocktail glass? I don’t make many martinis, so these gorgeous glasses sit for months on end without use. Why not now, when we’re locked inside and in need of extra fun?

If you’re looking for something a little…extra…add a little rum to the mix. Remove a little of the juice if you want to still eat it with a spoon, or just as an extra liquid if you want it to be more of a drink with a straw. (I’d suggest Malibu Rum if you want to kick up the Bacardi.) Just don’t tell anyone I told you to.

As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver pulled over briefly on this bridge across the river Seine. She explained to us that it was a very popular place for people to take wedding and engagement photos. We got lucky, traffic cleared for a moment and I snapped this shot of a bride and groom in their honeymoon car, just about to drive away. It was a beautiful first real view of this city of romance. I want to go back again, just to wander and eat and try more wines, no real agenda beyond walking and taking it all in.

Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, b Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, but this day spent kayaking on Chilkoot Lake was incredible. Cold, deep water. Snowy peaks. Glacier fed. Slightly terrifying but once we got in the groove, we kicked ass. 10/10 if you take an Alaskan passage cruise.

With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in theaters, the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is even more relevant to me when I visit the park. Last week, the morning after I saw the movie, I was at my happy place and the first ride I went on was Mission Breakout. I got a kick out of the scene where Drax punches the animal in the face, and once you’ve seen GOTG3, you’ll get why. I considered going on it again, but I was on the Carthay wait list (highly recommended if you don’t have a reservation, particularly if there’s only 1-2 in your party) and I got my text to return within 15 minutes for my seat…and I really wanted the bao buns. I did head back later in the evening to watch a Marvel show with Black Widow by the Quinjet. Never saw Mantis though, was really hoping to get a picture with her. 

Don’t skip the gift store on your way off the ride. There’s a whole new batch of GOTGVol3 gear AND new Loki stuff! The purple Loki hoodie had just come out and I grabbed one before they sold out, even though I can’t imagine when I’ll wear it next here in SoCal. With the show coming out on October 6, I’ll wear it…with the a/c on if I need to. There’s also some new stuff in the Studio 17 store — if you haven’t visited it, it’s full of photo opps and gear for all your Marvel needs.

Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, removing its iconic trolley — a photo opp of many memories with my Toontown-playing son — and adding a new ride, Mickey’s Runaway Railway. It’s a mix of animation, motion and music, and I LOVED it. Come along with me on a quick tour of the line-waiting area and part of the ride. Don’t worry, I didn’t share too much so you will still have plenty of surprises!  Say what you will about Disney-loving adults, I don’t care, I waited 35 minutes to ride this and I’ll do it again next time..and the next…and the next. Only warning: hold onto your hats, and ears! The ride is safe and smooth but there are some quick movements that may catch you off guard.

Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I i Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I imagine it would feel like when you’re a contestant on Chopped. What’s in the box? What can I make with it? Except without the pressure to get it all done in 45 minutes or less. Each box makes me be creative, and each item I’ve never tried pushes me a little out of my comfort zone to try new things. Whatever it is, we have so much fun! This box included Blue Potatoes, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Dragon Fruit (Yellow), Ojai Pixie Tangerines, Rhubarb, and a big bag of Fava Beans….which may be my favorite, because shelling them is relaxing and you can’t have too many fava beans and Chianti jokes.

Thank you @MelissasProduce! I’ll be sharing recipes soon. I’m thinking up ideas and will be making them all this week to post here in a reel or on my website. I’ll update later!
