Slice off the top 1/3 of each orange to create a cap and set aside. With a spoon, carefully hollow out the inside of each orange, being mindful not to puncture the peel. Reserve the pulp and juice for other uses and set the hollowed oranges aside.
Place the hollowed oranges and their tops in the freezer to chill while you prepare the ice cream.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an ice cream maker.
Follow the instructions specific to your ice cream maker to churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Remove the hollowed oranges from the freezer. Fill each orange 3/4 full with the freshly churned ice cream, then carefully place the orange cap on top.
Return the filled oranges to the freezer to firm up, approximately 4–6 hours or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, remove the oranges from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to slightly soften the ice cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
