Ingredients:

• 1 cup orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Orange Mixture:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, and sugar.
   • Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
   • Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Combine the Cream Base:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
   • Once the orange mixture has cooled, add it to the cream mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Chill the Mixture:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
4. Churn the Ice Cream:
   • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
5. Freeze the Ice Cream:
   • Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
   • Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
6. Serve:
   • Scoop the Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream into bowls or cones.
   • Garnish with fresh orange slices if desired, and enjoy!
