Orange Ice Cream (Quick and Easy Blender Recipe!)
Description
The preparation involves combining heavy cream, milk, sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and freshly grated organic orange zest in a blender and mixing until fully combined. The mixture is poured into a metal pan and placed in the freezer. Every hour, it is stirred to break up ice crystals and promote a smooth creamy consistency. After two such stir cycles over approximately two hours, the mixture develops the texture of ice cream that can be scooped and served in cones, cups, or glasses.
The prominent flavors come from the orange juice and zest, giving a bright citrus note balanced by rich cream. The manual stirring approach allows this recipe to be made easily at home without specialized equipment yet still yields a dessert with pleasant texture and intense orange flavor.
This ice cream is ideal for those wanting a refreshing, fruit-flavored frozen treat made with natural ingredients and a straightforward method.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream UK: double cream
- ½ cup milk + 1 tbsp, whole
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 cup orange juice just under 1 cup
- 4 Tbsp orange zest organic, grated
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients
- Pour the cream and milk into the blender container with the sugar. Then add the orange juice and zest and blend for about 45 seconds or until it's well mixed.
- Pour into a metal pan and place in the freezer for about an hour.
- Remove from the freezer and stir with a spoon. Repeat this two more times (twice in two hours.)
- You'll see the mixture begin to take on the texture of ice cream. When it’s ready, scoop into glasses, cups, or cones to serve.
Notes
- A metal pan is recommended for freezing as it helps the mixture freeze evenly.
- Periodic stirring is important to achieve a creamy texture as you freeze the ice cream.
