Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium blood oranges, juiced
1/2 medium navel orange, juiced
2 c 35% heavy cream
1/4 c milk (any except skim milk)
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 pinch ground himalayan sea salt
4 large free-run egg yolks
2 tsp cointreau (substitute grand marnier)

Steps:

  • 1. Juice oranges so the volume reaches 1 ¼ cups of liquid; set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, milk, sugar and salt. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • 2. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and pale. Temper the eggs by pouring very slowly about ¼ cup of hot milk mixture, whisk continuously. Pour egg mixture into the saucepan and whisk until very well blended. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously and making sure the mixture DOESN'T boil.
  • 3. Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature. About 30 minutes, add orange juice add Cointreau if using. Stir, transfer to a large measuring cup and let it sit for another 15 minutes before covering with plastic wrap and transferring to the refrigerator overnight.
  • 4. Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers' directions, about 20 minutes. Spoon ice cream into container and transfer to the freezer for at least 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Use blood oranges that are fully ripe and have a deep red color for the best flavor and color in your ice cream.
  • Make sure to zest the blood oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor.
  • If you don't have a juicer, you can use a blender to juice the blood oranges. Just be sure to strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
  • You can use any type of milk or cream in this recipe, but whole milk or heavy cream will give you the richest, creamiest ice cream.
  • If you like, you can add a tablespoon or two of Grand Marnier or Cointreau to the ice cream base for a boozy twist.
  • Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
  • Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
