How do I empty the fruit without ruining the shell?

Cut a round piece (a "lid") off the top of the mandarin or orange, and carefully scrape out the flesh with a teaspoon. The shell should stay whole, so it can be used as a bowl for the ice cream.

What are the fruit shells filled with?

Mandarin ice cream in mandarins and orange ice cream in oranges – that is, ice cream made from the same fruit as the shell.

Can I use the fruit flesh for anything?

Yes, the scraped-out flesh and juice can be used in the ice cream itself, so nothing goes to waste.

How old is the recipe?

It comes from Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (Grand Cookbook) of 1914, page 512, and serves 8.
