Method
 

Steps to Prepare
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by measuring out the coconut milk, juicing the fresh oranges, and zesting the limes.
  2. Heat Base: In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk and granulated sugar over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Add Citrus: Gradually whisk in the freshly squeezed orange juice. Bring to a gentle simmer while whisking until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Finish Base: Remove from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and lime zest. Allow to cool slightly.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to let it set beautifully.
  6. Serve: Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes. Optionally garnish with a slice of fresh orange.
