Perfect at-home summer treat

This easy, refreshing dessert can be made in an ice cream machine or in the freezer with a bowl and spoon.
Once set, serve it in tangerine “cups” made from halved, scooped-out tangerines or scoop it into glasses. A few pieces of candied ginger served alongside make a nice addition.
