How to Make Orange Shells Filled With Strawberry Ice

  1. Hull and halve 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (skip this step if using frozen strawberries).
  2. Cut off the top third of 6 medium oranges.
  3. Carefully hollow out the oranges, reserving the shells. Set aside.
  4. Reserve the orange pulp for another use (e.g., juice or zest).
  5. In a food processor, combine the frozen strawberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Pulse on and off until coarsely chopped, then process until slushy.
  6. With the food processor running, add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2 large egg whites through the feed tube. Process until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  7. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the strawberry ice into each orange shell.
  8. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days in advance. If frozen solid, let soften slightly in the refrigerator before serving.
  9. Garnish each serving with a fresh strawberry, if desired.
