Ingredients

Orange Layer

2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
7 tsp grass-fed gelatin
2 tbsp raw honey (or more if needed)
1 tsp vanilla extract (how to make your own vanilla extract)

Cream Layer

1 cup coconut cream or heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp grass-fed gelatin
4 tsp raw honey (or more if needed)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

To Make The Orange Layer

In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup orange juice and 7 teaspoons gelatin. Set aside.
In a small saucepan combine the rest of the orange juice with 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Whisk in the gelatin mixture until completely it is dissolved. Taste and add more honey if needed.
Divide evenly between ramekins or mason jelly jars. I placed 1/3 cup in seven of these jars.
Place containers in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Once the orange layer is firm it's time to make the cream layer.

To Make The Cream Layer

Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Whisk in the gelatin mixture until completely it is dissolved. Taste and add more honey if needed.
Divide evenly between ramekins or mason jelly jars. I placed just a little over 2 tablespoons into seven of these jars.
Place back in the fridge and allow the cream layer to firm up for another hour or two before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use whatever size ramekins you’d like. I find that 4 oz jelly jars make a nice size serving, come with handy lids, and are easy to transport.
