Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, pure vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer on medium speed to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
Gently fold the orange juice mixture into the whipped heavy cream until combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream entirely.
Stir in the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve the Creamsicle Ice Cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy!
