Introduction
Looking for one-of-a-kind dessert recipes that blend sweetness with a citrus twist? This orange ice cream recipe is the perfect treat for sunny days or cozy evenings. If you love food with a burst of flavor, this creamy, zesty delight will quickly become one of your go-to favorites.
I made this orange jelly ice cream using my new ice cream machine, and the result was smooth, refreshing, and incredibly delicious. Just a quick tip: when making any ice cream recipe, be mindful of the sugar and alcohol content. Too much of either can prevent the ice cream from freezing properly, as both act as de-icers.
This orange dessert pairs beautifully with fresh seasonal berries, or you can serve it with a warm, toasted croissant and a drizzle of hot chocolate sauce for an indulgent finish. Whether you're into homemade recipes or simply love flavorful food, this one's worth saving.
Orange Jelly Ice Cream Recipe
Yields: 1.2 liters (2 pints)
Ingredients:
- 1 vanilla pod
- 250ml (9 fl oz) milk
- 750ml (26 fl oz) double cream
- 175g (6 oz) caster sugar
- 10 free-range egg yolks
- 6 tbsp orange marmalade
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vanilla:
- Using a sharp knife, slice the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Set aside both the seeds and the pod.
- Heat the Cream Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, double cream, caster sugar, vanilla seeds, and the pod. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Temper the Egg Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks thoroughly. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture over the yolks while whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
- Cook the Custard:
- Return the combined mixture to a clean saucepan. Cook gently, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a custard. Strain through a sieve to remove the vanilla pod and any lumps.
- Churn the Ice Cream:
- Pour the custard into your ice cream machine and churn until nearly set. Add the orange marmalade and churn again until fully combined.
- Freeze:
- Transfer the finished orange ice cream into a container and freeze until firm.
