Instead of mandarin oranges
you can use 6 to 8 fresh clementines or tangerines oranges, peeled
and cut into segments.
Mascarpone Italian Cream
Cheese is found in your deli department at your local grocery store.
You can substitute regular cream cheese for the Mascarpone Italian
Cream Cheese if you prefer.
Raspberry or pineapple are a
great substitute. |

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups crushed purchased spiced biscotti { about 6 large

1 pint french vanilla ice cream
1 - 8 ounce carton mascarpone cheese
1 pint orange sorbet, softened

baking dish with foil, extending foil over
edges of dish. In a medium bowl stir together the butter and

In a chilled bowl stir ice cream to soften. In another bowl stir
mascarpone cream cheese to soften. Slowly add 1/4 of the softened
french vanilla ice
cream to the mascarpone, stirring well after each addition { mixture
may look slightly lumpy }. Spoon into crust lined baking dish and spread
evenly with the back of a large spoon. Freeze for about 1 hour or until
firm. Spoon sorbet on top of the vanilla ice cream and spread evenly
with the back of a large spoon. Cover and freeze 4 hours or until

Let frozen
mixture stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Lift from pan

To serve, cut ice cream mixture into 9 squares. Top each square
with some of the orange syrup mixture. |
