Orange is the new Black Pumpkin
I kind of want to throw a Halloween brunch now, just for the excuse to make and serve these adorable fruit-filled oranges again.
The theme could be “Monsters in Pajamas” and everyone would come as his or her favorite monster dressed in pajamas. If only my friends were cool enough to go for such an idea…
These festive orange bowls are:
-Kid-friendly
-Easy to make
-And you can fill them with anything from curry, to fruit, to ice cream or chocolate mousse!
Jack-O-Lantern Oranges
- oranges
- a small, sharp kitchen knife (or an Xacto knife)
- filling of choice: fruit salad, oatmeal, yogurt, chocolate mousse, sorbet, etc.
Slice the tops off of the oranges and set aside. Cut around the insides and remove the orange segments. (Reserve for fruit salad, homemade orange juice, or smoothies.) Cut out faces as you would for a real jack-o-lantern, then fill and serve.
Step-by-Step Photos:
Step One: Gather your oranges.
Step Two: Slice off the tops with a sharp knife or an Xacto, and cut around the insides. Remove the orange sections and reserve for fruit salad, homemade orange juice, or smoothies.
Step Three: Cut out faces, treating the orange as if it were a real jack-o-lantern pumpkin.
Aaaand…
Fill with whatever you desire.
I used my recipe for Addictive Fruit Salad.

i just made these for lunch and theyre too cute! thanks so much for the idea Katie, everyone loved them! and i would come to your monster pajama party, id be a vampire in a night gown…or maybe godzilla in a night gown…..hmmm
Katie I just have to say I love your blog and your recipies so much. I have been reading it since I became a vegan (2 months) 🙂 but I have been too scared to comment. Your pictures are beautiful too by the way just like you! This is such a creative recipe. My favorite of yours would have to be the cookie dough dip! I had to stop buying garbanzos (which I call butt beans lol) so I can’t make it anymore because I’m so addicted. And duh of course I would come to your party! Anyways just wanted to say hi and it makes my day whenever you post recipes. 🙂
You just made MY day 🙂
These are super cute! I’ve been wanting to do a healthier snack for Halloween instead of being tempted by candy, and this seems like a great idea. Thank you!
These are soooo adorable! I would totally make these for a halloween party/my kindergarten class. Such a great idea and the kiddos would love it.
Oooh, these are so cute and a great idea for those of us who don’t have enough space to use huge pumpkins as decorations. I’ll let you know if I try these.
Cute idea!
What a great and simple idea. I love it.
You are the BEST, Katie!
I would like to go as a cyclops wearing one of those eye masks people wear at night over my one big eye.
LOVE this idea!
Oh my word I would so come to your monsters in Pajamas party, and i love the frankensteins wife in lingerie idea! Im thinking Dracula in PJS would be a good time for sure x)
Gosh, these look AMAZING! Does cookie monster in PJs count? He’s so cool, plus you could eat all the cookies (and these!) as you’d like! lol.
He’s my favorite moster. Plus he’s the best color!
