  1. This sounds really good with the orange zest. You can make a traditional recipe unique with a creative spin like this–a little orange zest or whathaveyou. I will have to give this a try. Thanks for your always interesting recipes!

  2. OMG soooo good on plain vanilla ice cream! It’s surprisingly easy to make, especially once you get the hang of it that it becomes like second-nature.

  3. Oh this was good. I topped this on a flourless chocolate cake that I got from this website too and it was absolutely delicious! That orange zest I felt gave the dessert an overall summery feel to it. I like that because usually I do most of my baking in the wintertime and in the summer I’m not really in the mood for a lot of desserts, but this orange zest was perfect.

  5. This sounds soooo yummy! Caramel sauce with a twist! I love caramel on fruit, like sliced bananas and apples. Then I feel like I’m actually eating something healthy or at least I figure the caramel sauce and the fruit balance each other out. So I’m really excited to try this orange caramel sauce because the orange will probably go really well with my fruit bowl!
