Frozen Citrus Whip Dessert Recipe

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.

A good, quality olive oil is critical when making A good, quality olive oil is critical when making and serving any kind of bread, so when I made this roasted garlic artisan no-knead bread, I was excited that Garcia de la Cruz had sent me these beautiful bottles a couple of weeks ago. And those olives! One is stuffed with manchego cheese, the other bottle with pimento. They went perfectly with the bread as an easy app with a glass of wine on a lazy evening watching Christmas movies. 

Making artisan bread is a lot easier than it looks, and once you have the basic dough down, it’s fun to get creative and put in some extras. Roasting a whole head of garlic will have your house smelling like a fancy Italian restaurant, and those individual cloves are easily squeezed out — to be spread on bread, mixed in with pasta, the choices are endless…as long as you love garlic, because it can be pretty potent. I even throw them in with a pan of roasted vegetables and chicken thighs. Such an easy dinner.

Give Garcia de la Cruz products a try! They are available on Amazon and currently there’s a seasonal flavor collection available. We’ll go through these two bottles pretty quickly — I love to dip bread and could do it in place of dinner, no questions asked. You’ll love the flavor and what it does for your food!

Me and the big guy! Thank you, Disneyland, for a m Me and the big guy! Thank you, Disneyland, for a merry and magical day visiting the parks! See you again soon, Mickey!

With Thanksgiving in the rear view, Christmas seas With Thanksgiving in the rear view, Christmas season is officially here. I can’t get enough of the castle. I have maxed out my Magic Key reservations during the season so I can fit in as much Disney magic as possible. Now I just have to hope for no rain next week, last week’s visit was cold and rainy and the new treehouse was closed for safety reasons…but the castle was still beautiful! 

To answer the question that inevitably gets asked: no, no one is ever too old for Disneyland and it’s not just for kids. I grew up going to the park, after having moved to California as a teen (from NY) and my kids grew up with passes too. It’s a part of my life that makes me happy, and life is too short to not do all the things you enjoy. I’m taking the grandbabies in January and I cannot wait! 

Merry Christmas! 🤣🤣

Hosting a party that you want your guests to remem Hosting a party that you want your guests to remember forever? Try a Christmas Vacation aka Griswold Christmas party! This infamous scene with Clark and Cousin Eddie is just one recreation from our favorite Christmas movie ever. What else did we recreate?

The squirrel in the tree
A <moving> cat in a box
The ladder with a sleeve hanging from the side of the house
Aunt Bethany’s Jell-o mold with cat food
Punch bowl of egg nog and moose mugs
A dry turkey that caves in

Aaaaand….later in the evening…the shape of Aunt Bethany’s cat on the floor.

We’ve hosted this party many times over the years, each year with added costume contest and added fun — like quotes placed all around the house to remind people to have the  hap-hap-happiest Christmas. The link to our blog post with all the tips is in the bio above!

“Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah.”

The Christmas tree is up at Victoria Gardens here The Christmas tree is up at Victoria Gardens here in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and I’m so ready for the holidays! We’ve been regulars at this outdoor shopping mall since it initially opened, and all four of our kids took photos with the Santa here until they were too big to admit to still believing in Santa. 

Snowfall happens on Friday and Saturday nights at 7pm, the train takes kids for a ride around the tree, and Santa reservations can be made by visiting the VG website. Santa even takes photos with pets! <Yes, I AM making reservations for Shuri and Lady Sif to see the big guy.>

Let the holiday shopping season begin!

Wine lovers — new to wine, continuously learning Wine lovers — new to wine, continuously learning about wine or collectors — have you tried Madeira wine from Portugal lately? I had the absolute pleasure of being invited to attend the Madeira Wine Experience Los Angeles 2023, an all-day press and industry event held at the Maybourne Beverly Hills. The event consisted of seminars from industry experts, including Eugenio Jardim (Sommelier and Wines of Portugal brand ambassador), Camron Robertson (General Manager of the popular bar, Thunderbolt LA) and major wine producers from the beautiful island of Madeira. I learned about Madeira wine pairing and how to make cocktails with Madeira, two topics I knew little about, and in-between, we enjoyed the wine tasting, cocktails and buffets. I’ve covered it all in-depth over on the blog, which you can find in my bio. Go check it out! My goal is to help make wine verbiage and knowledge easy to learn and accessible to everyone. Wine tasting and purchasing can be intimidating, but it doesn’t need to be! Wine should be enjoyable and fun for everyone! Swipe to see some pics and video of the day!
