🍊 Homemade Chocolate Orange Ice Cream
Homemade Chocolate Orange Ice Cream is the perfect activity to make with the family! Have you ever made homemade ice cream before? It’s a ton of fun and not nearly as hard as one would think.
🍊 Putting a Spin On Traditional Flavor
There once was a fabulous little ice cream shack and it is deeply tragic that it has since closed down, however, some of the best entrepreneurs are usually able to find a way to rebuild and I faithfully believe that the people who ran this ice cream brand will find another way to rebuild if they haven’t already.
Chocolate orange ice cream is considered a delicacy in Italy, but did you know that it is actually easy to make it at home? My homemade ice recipe is similar in consistency to gelato and has a rich, dark chocolate finish.

📖 Recipe
HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE ORANGE ICE CREAM
Equipment
- ice cream maker
- airtight container
Ingredients
- 1-⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup cacao powder (Sub in cocoa powder if you don't have cacao powder. See product suggestions below.)
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
- 1-½ cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 quarter cup Orange Juice
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- ⅓ cup Orange Zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange Oil
Instructions
- If using an ice cream maker, prep your ice cream machine 24-hours before making this recipe. Make sure to add the freezer bowl from your ice cream machine to the freezer at least 4-hours before making this recipe, or even better 24-hours.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon,cacao powder Himalayan sea salt to a mixing bowl and combine.
- Add the milk, heavy cream, orange juice, vanilla extract, orange oil to the sugar mixture and combine.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a glass bowl over steamed water or in a microwave until the chocolate is melted. Add in the fresh orange zest and combine.
- Add the melted chocolate to the prepared ice cream mixture and add everything to a stand mixer and mix on the medium setting or gently hand mix.
- Let the prepared ice cream mixture sit in the fridge for an hour to firm up before adding it to your ice cream machine.
- Turn on the ice cream maker, pour the ice cream mixture into the freezer bowl and mix until thickened, about 25-35 minutes. Since we froze the freezer bowl 24-hours prior, the ice cream should have a nice, thick consistency and should be ready to eat.
- Transfer to a bowl, add some more fresh orange zest, and enjoy!
- The ice cream will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6-months. Make ice cream ahead and enjoy this delicious dessert all summer long!
