Vodka-soaked mandarin oranges, over homemade dark chocolate ice cream. Frozen before serving.
This was actually unintentional - I had already made the dessert but needed to run a quick errand, so I tossed it in the freezer uncovered - hence all of the frost. Because of their alcohol content, the oranges don't freeze completely - so they end up with a quite interesting, slushy texture. It was quite good.
A bit of simple sugar added to the mix helps the orange flavor to stay intact - between 1/4 and 1/3 of the total volume works well. I've been using Svedka vodka for a number of years now - its quite good, and easily the best balance of price vs quality that I've found. I saved the light syrup that the oranges came in to make some other drinks.
