Ingredients
- 3 large oranges
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oranges by peeling them and removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them into thin rounds and set aside.
- Combine the orange slices and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl. Drizzle with honey and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and orange blossom water, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Top with a generous dollop of orange blossom cream.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Additional Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use agave syrup instead of honey. You can also add a sprinkle of toasted almonds for extra crunch.
