Orange Ice Cream



Ingredients:

4 eggs, separated
3-4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups whipped cream sweetened with a little powdered sugar
juice of 2 oranges
grated zest of one orange
1 cup milk
1 -2 oranges cut into small pieces

Beat the yolks with the sugar until it's yellow and fluffy, then beat in the fruit juice.

Bring the milk to a boil with the orange zest, let it cool, and add it to the yolks, passing it through a strainer.

Heat the mixture over a double boiler, stirring it gently with a spoon, until it thickens, then let it cool- Do not let it boil, or it will curdle.

When the milk mixture has cooled mix into the whipped cream. Stir in the chopped orange pieces.

Beat egg whites until firm peaks form. Fold into whipped cream and milk.

Pour into an ice cream maker, chill/churn for about 30 minutes. Alternatively place into freezer until firm and ready to serve.


Scoop ice cream into dishes and serve with freshly sliced oranges.
