Moroccan Red Orange Dessert

20 minutes
This exquisite dessert made from blood oranges is inspired by Moroccan traditions, where citrus plays an important role in the cuisine. Blood oranges, with their rich, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor, are infused with fragrant orange blossom water that adds a delicate floral note to the dish. A light dusting of powdered sugar and cinnamon completes the composition, creating a balance of sweetness and spice. This dessert is wonderfully refreshing and suitable for a light end to dinner or a morning treat with a cup of tea. Its simplicity in preparation makes it an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy natural flavors without excessive complexity.
