Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, heavy whipping cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely and the ingredients are well combined. This may take 2-3 minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is well chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Freeze the ice cream for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up to a scoopable texture.
Serve the orange ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
