This creamy orange pudding can be made up to 24 hours ahead.

In medium saucepan, mix orange juice concentrate, orange juice, agar agar, ¾ cup maple syrup and lemon juice. Bring to boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until agar has completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour into bowl, cover and freeze until thoroughly chilled, about 20 minutes.

In food processor or blender, process cheeses until very smooth. Stir into orange mixture until well-blended. Stir in remaining ¼ cup maple syrup if desired.

Pour into freezer-proof serving dishes or hollowed out orange shells.
