This recipe is one of those little gems that you have in your back pocket in case of emergencies...a dessert emergency!
You have guests coming tonight/tomorrow/next week(?) and no time to make anything. Barely enough time to go to the store. Well, I've got you covered!
As you run through the supermarket, grab a tub of mascarpone cheese and an orange. Plus the confectioner's sugar that you have at home in the cupboard, and that's it! Orange Dessert Sauce! See my video in the recipe below to see how easy it is to make!
Grab a few punnets of berries, or pavlova shells (or both!) or even a premade cake - add this orange cream and dessert is sorted!
How do you make this Creamy Orange Dessert Sauce? Just mix it all together! No need for whipping, the mascarpone is already lovely and thick - then add sugar, orange rind and juice = sauce.
Do you want a thick cream to dollop for the pav, or would you like a thinner, pourable sauce that you can drizzle maybe? Simple - just adjust the amount of orange juice!
Enjoy!

Can I use this has a filling for layer cakes?
Hi Gina! Sorry no, I don’t think it would be suitable for a layer cake. I don’t think it would be thick enough. Thanks for stopping by though! L x
