Frozen Orange Fluff Dessert Squares

About this Recipe

One things most people don’t know about me is that I don’t really like ice cream. My 3 year old niece is adorable and says “You know who doesn’t like ice cream? ….. Crazy people”. So I am officially a crazy person in the eyes of my niece. This frozen dessert recipe however kind of breaks through that peculiarity that I have, because it is really delicious. The flavor is somewhat like a creamsicle, but a much healthier version of a creamsicle since it uses real fruit, homemade whipping cream, and organic marshmallows which although they are delicious are actually not necessary for this dessert. It would taste great even without the marshmallows.

Grandmother's Kitchen Tips for Frozen Orange Fluff Dessert Squares:

1. This is a great dessert to make with any leftovers. This frozen orange fluff dessert recipe comes from the classic unfrozen version which you can find the recipe here: Orange Fluff Dessert Recipe.

2. If you like frozen dessert recipes, a few other similar desserts are Grandmother’s Icebox Ambrosia Salad and Frozen Cherry Fluff Dessert.

3. To add even more orange flavor and orange nutrients you can use a few drops of Young Living brand natural Orange oil, which is food grade essential oil that is naturally extracted from oranges. Make sure you only use the food grade oil as other oils may not be good to ingest.

4. You can use regular marshmallows if you like, but there are also some really great non GMO, vegan marshmallows called Dandies that also use lower glycemic sweeteners in them. So if you'd like to try something different those are great to try, and they taste and work in recipes just like regular marshmallows do.

5. Be sure to line your freezer tray with parchment paper (which can be washed and re-used) so it is easy to take out and serve.

Mold can be a tricky thing to keep away from your food, but once you learn how to remove mold, what kills mold and how to prevent mold from growing in the first place, you’ll be able to keep your kitchen mold free. The dangers of mold are not terribly high, but they are significant enough that if you were to consume it for a while, you might develop allergies, allergy symptoms or respiratory issues, especially if you already struggle with these issues in the first place. So to keep mold at bay, make sure you check food over well at the grocery store to make sure it’s fresh when you bring it home. You can also buy food that’s a bit under ripe to avoid mold as well.

Cleaning up after food prep is important for reducing the chances of bringing mold into your home. It can grow pretty much anywhere that is moist and dark enough. So places like your fridge and food are the perfect breeding grounds for mold and other bacteria. Using natural kitchen cleaners to help you prevent mold and to kill mold can help. Vinegar is the best natural kitchen cleaner for mold as well as fighting bacteria and germs.

It’s great to spray down your countertops with a vinegar and water mixture before and after you prepare food to get rid of any bacteria or mold spores present. Also, clean your fridge out regularly as well since it can have mold spores inside of it from moldy food. Take time to clean your sink and deal with any clogged drains in your kitchen too since this can also be a breeding ground for mold.
