orange and ...... ice cream

[crisgal]

i've found an incredibly easy recipe for orange ice cream.
But that's all it is - orange!
I fancy something with it but what?
walnuts? Chocolate chunks?
Will whatever I put in effect the freeezing process?
Should i just stick to orange?

Oooo orange ice cream- what's the recipe?

[crisgal]

BOO, yer gonna love this!



Serves 6

3 Seville oranges, or 1 eating orange and 2 limes

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons icing sugar

2 1/2 cups double cream

If using Seville oranges, grate the zest of 2 of them. Squeeze the juice of all 3 and pour into a bowl with the zest and sugar. If you're going for the sweet orange and lime option, grate the zest of the orange and one of the limes, juice them and add to the sugar as before. Stir to dissolve the sugar and add the heavy cream.

Whip everything until it holds soft peaks, and then turn into a shallow airtight container (of approximately 2 quarts) with a lid. Cover and freeze until firm (from 3 to 5 hours). Remove to ripen for 15-20 minutes (or 30-40 in the refrigerator) before eating. Serve in a bowl, in cones, with wafers�however you like.

Got to be choc chip with orange. Sounds yummy.

that sounds delicious! I've never had orange ice cream before! Might have to give it a whirl over the weekend crisgal :-)

I'd put dark orange chocoalte chunks in it. And put it in as before you put in freezer?

[crisgal]

My husband had orange ice cream once, on a childhood holiday, so it's always something we look for. We've never found any though, so this will be a nice surprise!

I might make this first batch just as the recipe and then experiment later.

Anything dry added to the mix shouldn't affect the freezing. Add what you like - chocolate chips, chopped nuts, slivers of candied orange peel, even slivers of those orange flavour jellied fruit sweets - the list goes on... Keep a little of the zest back to sprinkle on top when it's served. Also, try pouring over some orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier when you serve it up. Mmmm!!!

[ethandron]

what about adding some dried cranberries to it? they always go nicely with orange. or bits of crushed up orange matchmakers?

[pastafreak]

Get some orange lindour....you can buy just a few at Whittards...break them up into the icecream....or white chocolate would be gorgeous....;-)
