Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2–3 oranges)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
- Initial freezing: Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer for about 1 hour.
- Stir occasionally: Every 30 minutes, remove the container from the freezer and vigorously stir the mixture with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals and incorporate air. Repeat this step 3–4 times over 2 to 3 hours until the ice cream is firm and creamy.
- Final chilling: Once firm, cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for an additional 2–3 hours to fully set before serving.
Notes
- For an extra smooth texture, you can strain the mixture before freezing to remove any pulp or zest bits.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- If you have an ice cream maker, you can use it to churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions for a faster, creamier result.
- Store leftover ice cream airtight in the freezer for up to 1 week.
