This week’s ice cream flavor is Orange Creamsicle.  Last year I tried to make this and it’s the only one of my ice creams that I considered a failure.  I tried to make it with orange juice, but in order to get enough orange flavor I had to add so much OJ that it wasn’t very creamy in the end.  So here’s my second try.

I started with the “non-eggs” base recipe.

Ingredient adjustments:

Increase the vanilla to 1 1/2 tsp
Add: 3/4 to 1 tsp orange extract
Add: Orange zest from 3/4 of an orange

Instructions:

Whisk all ingredients, except the orange zest, together until the sugar is dissolved. This is easy and quick to do by hand. Add the orange zest and whisk until evenly distributed and there are no clumps. Place in ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Enjoy!

I forgot to take pictures, sorry!

NOTE: This makes a pretty small batch, so you may want to double or even triple the recipe.

Cheers,
