Step 1
1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut cream, orange juice, orange zest, honey (or agave), vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk gently to combine.
Step 2
2. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it's hot but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes). You should see small bubbles forming around the edges.
Step 3
3. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.

You Must Know
- ✓Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest texture and flavor. Light coconut milk won't provide the same luxurious consistency.
- ✓For the brightest flavor, zest the orange before juicing it, and make sure to only zest the orange part of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
- ✓If you want a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling to remove any zest pieces.
