Note
This cream is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Ensure the oats are completely cool before adding them to the cream to prevent melting the whipped structure.
The "frozen undiluted orange" refers to frozen orange juice concentrate. Thaw it before use. If using fresh orange juice, reduce the quantity slightly as it is less concentrated.
This topping pairs exceptionally well with apple pie, pumpkin cake, or fresh berries.
