Description
Indulge in a creamy, refreshing homemade orange ice cream that captures the essence of summer in every scoop.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup fresh orange juice (about 3 oranges)
- 1 tablespoon orange extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. Add in the fresh orange juice, 1 ½ cups of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of orange extract, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended.
- Churn It Good: Pour your mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze to Firm: Transfer your ice cream into an airtight container. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, then seal with the lid. Freeze for at least 240-360 minutes or overnight.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the ice cream to soften for a few minutes at room temperature before serving. Scoop into bowls or cones.
Notes
Make-ahead the ice cream base a day in advance for better flavor. Consider adding mix-ins for added texture.
