Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Citrus

  1. Start by squeezing fresh orange and lemon juice. Set aside in separate bowls.
  2. Zest the orange and lemon, being careful not to zest too much of the white pith, which can be bitter. Set the zest aside.

Step 2: Make the Ice Cream Base

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, ensuring the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Stir in the fresh orange and lemon juice, along with the orange and lemon zest. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 3: Churn the Ice Cream

  1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions for your machine.
  2. Churn the ice cream for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

Step 4: Freeze the Ice Cream

  1. Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container.
  2. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper before sealing the lid.
  3. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
