Equipment

- 1–2 tbsp honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut cream, orange juice, orange zest, honey or agave, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
