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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
Gently fold the orange juice mixture into the whipped heavy cream until combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream entirely.
Step 4
Stir in the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Scoop and serve the Creamsicle Ice Cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy!
