Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp OOOFlavors Orange Sherbet Ice Cream Flavor Concentrate (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp orange zest (optional, for added flavor)
- Orange food coloring (optional, for color)
Instructions
-
Heat the cream and milk:
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
-
Dissolve the sugar:
- In a separate bowl, mix together sugar and salt. Gradually add the sugar mixture to the heated cream and milk, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Cool the base:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
-
Add flavor and color:
- Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the Orange Sherbet Ice Cream Flavor Concentrate and orange zest (if using). Add a few drops of orange food coloring for a vibrant hue, if desired.
-
Chill the base:
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
Churn the ice cream:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Freeze and set:
- When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a lidded container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
-
Serve and enjoy:
- Scoop the creamy orange sherbet into bowls or cones and savor the refreshing citrus flavor!
Pro Tips:
- For a creamier sherbet, use full-fat milk and adjust the sugar to taste.
- Substitute OOOFlavors Orange Sherbet Flavor Concentrate with other concentrates like lemon, lime, or strawberry for different sherbet flavors.
- Garnish with fresh orange slices, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of zest for an elevated presentation.
