# Expert tips:
01 -
- It captures that iconic theme park taste without the theme park prices or the hour-long wait in line
- The ingredients are so simple you probably have them in your freezer right now
- You can make it completely dairy-free without losing an ounce of creaminess
02 -
- Letting the fruit thaw even slightly will ruin the texture, so work quickly and keep everything ice-cold until blending
- A high-powered blender makes all the difference between smooth and silky versus chunky and icy
- The mixture melts faster than store-bought ice cream, so serve it straight from the blender or freezer
03 -
- Freeze your oranges in a single layer on a baking sheet first so they don't clump together
- A splash of fresh lemon juice wakes up all the flavors and makes the orange taste brighter
