Churnless Orange Ice Cream

2020-09-21 09:09

This recipe allows you to make homemade Orange Ice cream without needing an ice-cream machine.

The measures given make quite a lot, but align with common container sizes for the ingredients - you can put some into the orange skins for presentation and then put the rest into the double cream pot to freeze as a tub of ice-cream (depending on how well your cream whips, you may find you need an additional container too).

The pot can be kept for up to 3 weeks in the freezer, the oranges should really be eaten within a couple of days

The basic technique can be used for a variety of flavours - for example, substituting Malibu and Coconut Milk in for a smooth Coconut flavour icecream

  5. Repeat for the other 5 topless oranges
  6. In a mixing bowl whip the cream until it's stiff and peaky
  7. Put the condensed milk and pinch of salt into another (large) mixing bowl

  9. Add the liqueur to the condensed milk
  10. Use a spoon or spatula to mix the condensed milk mixture together well
  11. Fold a couple of scoops of whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture

  13. Put the hollowed out oranges onto a plate (or into a tupperware box)
  14. Use a teaspoon to fill the oranges with the orange cream
  15. Use a grater to grate chocolate curls over the top of the oranges
  16. Place them into the freezer for at least 4 hours
  17. (Optional) Grate more chocolate curls into the bowl full of remaining mixture and mix in
  18. Carefully, clean out the container the double cream came in
  19. Spoon the remaining mixture into the double cream pot
  20. Put into the freezer (leave at least overnight)
