Chewy Chocolate Orange Cookies

Saffron, Honey, and Orange Ice Cream

This ice cream is all about balance: heady saffron, floral honey, and bittersweet orange zest.

Blood Orange Sherbet

A cross between sorbet and ice cream, full of both dairy richness and the tart berry flavor of blood orange.

Bi-Rite Creamery's Cara Cara Orange Cardamom Ice Cream

This ice cream is full of flavor and subtle all at once. Steeping cardamom pods in cream brings out all their layers of flavor, which are heightened by the citrus and bitter notes of the orange zest. Lots of ice creams are best served alongside some other dessert; this is fantastic enough to ride solo.

Orange-Tangerine Smoothie

Tangerines and honey lend a light sweetness to this creamy, citrusy drink.

Mulled Wine Ice Cream

This ice cream works a lot like vanilla bean—gently but assertively spiced with floral, fruity, and citrusy flavors working in tandem. It's a good general purpose ice cream but with a point of view all its own. The way mulled wine should be.

Wake-Up Call: Blood Orange Citrus Cooler

While oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes can be found year round, the really interesting citrus—tangerines, tangelos and blood oranges—are at their very best right now. This citrus mix is bright and sunny, and honey softens the tartness from the blood orange juice while adding a distinct floral note.

Old Fashioned (Bourbon and Orange) Ice Cream

An ice cream with all the boozy depth and surprising delicacy of an Old Fashioned. It's bourbon-forward, but carries subtle notes of citrus skin and aromatic bitters.

Drinking in Season: Blood Orange Daiquiri

Looking for a little pick-me-up after the holidays, I decided a daiquiri—which is traditionally made with lime juice, rum and sugar—would be the perfect candidate for a little winter experimentation. The blood orange juice gives the cocktail a lovely red hue and brings a bright flavor to the drink.

Rich and Creamy Tiramisu

Creamy, rich, and bursting with bold coffee flavors, tiramisu is one of my all-time favorite desserts. My version is less eggy than typical recipes, putting the mellow flavor of mascarpone front and center.

Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt

The classic creamsicle gets an upgrade with tangy yogurt and a big jolt of orange zest to bolster the fruit's bittersweet citrus edge.
