Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
2 whole star anise
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
6 eggs
Pinch salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups raw almonds, 3/4 cup coarsely chopped and 3/4 cup finely chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces coarsely chopped plus 3/4 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate
Zest of 1 orange

Steps:

For the ice cream: In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the cream, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the star anise and vanilla seeds. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, salt and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and beat until smooth.
Strain the cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and then whisk a third of the cream mixture into the eggs. Immediately whisk the eggs back into the cream mixture. Chill the ice cream base over an ice bath and freeze for 30 minutes.
Using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream base according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in an airtight container for 1 hour.
For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, and mix until the batter is smooth. Turn off the mixer and fold in the 3/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds, cranberries, 12 ounces chocolate chunks and orange zest using the spatula.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some room between each cookie, for about 12 cookies total. Press down the tops slightly, and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a shallow dish, combine the 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds with the 3/4 cup finely chopped chocolate. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop some ice cream onto a cookie, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Roll in the almond-chocolate mixture and freeze for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh oranges and cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
Chill the Cream: Make sure the cream is chilled before whipping it. This will help it whip up thicker and faster.
Don't Overbeat the Cream: Overbeating the cream can cause it to become grainy. Whip it until it forms soft peaks, which means that the cream holds its shape when you pull the beaters out of it.
Grate the Orange Zest: Grating the orange zest will release its essential oils and give the ice cream a more intense orange flavor.
Chop the Cranberries: Chop the cranberries into small pieces so that they distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
Use a Frozen Banana: Adding a frozen banana to the ice cream base will make it creamier and help it freeze faster.
Churn the Ice Cream: Churning the ice cream in an ice cream maker will give it a smoother texture than if you were to freeze it in a container.
Freeze the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream is churned, freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This orange cranberry ice cream is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its bright citrus flavor and tart cranberry notes, this ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
