Orange Cream Mimosa

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (5 to 6 oranges)
• 1 orange, zested
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup superfine sugar
• 1 bottle sparkling wine or Champagne*
• Strawberries, for garnish
• *Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling cider, or ginger ale can be substituted

Directions

Put orange juice, zest, half-and-half, and sugar into a blender and process until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until hard, 4 hours or overnight.

Remove the frozen orange mixture from the freezer and let it sit to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. With a scoop or tablespoon, scrape out a small scoop and put it into a Champagne glass. Slowly fill the glass with Champagne and serve garnished with strawberries.
