Orange Ice Cream
A refreshing and creamy ice cream bursting with natural citrus flavor, perfect for hot summer days.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Ice Cream Maker
- Airtight Container
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups fresh squeezed orange juice (from 6-8 oranges)
- 1½ Tbsp. lemon juice or substitute if needed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar adjust according to sweetness of oranges
- 2 cups heavy cream for a thick and creamy texture
- 1 Tbsp. orange Jello optional, can be replaced with orange oil for flavor
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine fresh orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Whisk in the heavy cream gently to maintain a light texture. Add orange Jello or orange oil and mix well.
- Chill the mixture and your ice cream maker's bowl according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until thick and creamy.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, divide the mixture into ziplock bags, double-bag them for safety, and place in a larger container filled with ice and rock salt. Shake for about 20 minutes until thickened, then transfer to the freezer.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container with plastic wrap on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for 1-2 weeks for the best texture and flavor.
