Orange Dessert Cups

Last week I shared with you a delicious Orange Pineapple Smoothie that I made with my boys on their day off from school. We decided to make two recipes with the delicious navel oranges we picked up at Sam’s Club. These Orange Dessert Cups use orange peel cups to create a fun way to serve up dessert. They are super quick and easy so give them a try with your mini chefs!
My 10 year old Lucian made this recipe with me. He loves anything with pudding so we decided to fill our orange cup with some freshly made vanilla bean pudding.
I cut out most of the inside of the orange, which we used to make our Orange Pineapple Smoothies. Then Lucian scooped out any excess with a spoon.
Pudding is a super simple recipe so Lucian made that entirely by himself.
For easier pouring, we did transfer the pudding to a measuring cup but a spoon would work just fine to fill the orange cups.
To add a little more flavor and continue on the fruit theme, we topped our pudding cups off with fresh blueberries and whipped cream!
We didn’t hollow out the tops of the orange cups so they could still enjoy some of the juicy fresh orange!
Orange Dessert Cups

- 3 large navel oranges
- 1 pkg pudding 4 serving size
