Description
This homemade Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream captures the essence of childhood with its creamy coconut milk and zingy oranges.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 3 medium oranges
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Oranges: Start by peeling and sectioning your medium oranges, ensuring to remove as much pith as possible. Once done, arrange the orange sections on a baking tray in a single layer for even freezing.
- Freeze the Orange Sections: Place the tray of orange sections in the freezer for about 1 hour or until they are completely hardened.
- Blend the Ice Cream Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat coconut milk with half of the frozen orange sections. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the rest of the frozen orange sections, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend again until well combined.
- Transfer to Container: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Freeze Until Solid: Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until solid.
- Scoop and Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use an ice cream scoop to serve.
Notes
- Choose fresh oranges for best flavor.
- Always opt for full-fat canned coconut milk.
- Be flexible with sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or confectioners sugar.
- Ensure orange sections are completely frozen before blending.
