Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Orange Crush soda
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 drops Orange food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Orange Crush soda and granulated sugar until the sugar completely dissolves. This will take about 2-3 minutes of stirring.
Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the soda mixture, and whisk until well combined. If you want a more vibrant orange color, mix in 2 drops of orange food coloring at this stage.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until well chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Process it until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the surface with plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Serve in bowls or cones for a sunny and nostalgic dessert. Enjoy!
