Notes

Use Seedless Oranges: If your oranges have seeds, remove them before blending. Navel or Cara Cara oranges work beautifully.
No Pistachios? Swap with finely ground walnuts or hazelnuts for a different flavor profile.
Make Ahead: The flavor deepens overnight. Bake the day before and glaze just before serving.
