🍊 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.

Homemade chocolate orange ice cream is so good that I would compare it to eating gelato on a beautiful sunny day in Italy. I’ve never actually been to Italy, but I have eaten a lot of gelatos, and ice cream has my heart.

I took some ideas from this famous ice cream place and I put my own spin on it. However, I would like to make a note that chocolate orange ice cream has been around for years and it is by far my all-time favorite ice cream flavor.

🍊 I Scream, You Scream, We Love Ice Cream 🍫

Do you love ice cream? I absolutely adore ice cream! I cannot believe that I missed national ice cream day last week. Who even am I?

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know how much I adore ice cream. In fact, on my stories this week, I made a delicious Affogato featuring my homemade chocolate orange ice cream.

I love adding ice cream to cold-brew coffee, or you could add a shot of espresso and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer drink!

🍨 Add Some Coffee and You've Got The Perfect Spring and Summer Drink

With a soothing taste and a delicious refreshing citrusy scent, this ice cream will send you straight into the last month of summer. This ice cream is also delicious at any time of the year and can easily be adapted for all of the upcoming holidays.

Wouldn’t it be nice to head to the beach, bring a frozen cooler in hand, and imagine sitting out on a warm beautiful plaid blanket enjoying homemade chocolate orange ice cream with your loved ones?

Imagine sitting out with your family and enjoying a lovely mini getaway at the beach. I know that is something I really want to do right now.

Equipment

  • ice cream maker
  • airtight container 
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!

Notes

If using an ice cream machine, 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. If the freezer bowl only froze for a few hours beforehand, immediately transfer the prepared ice cream to an airtight container or a metal loaf pan, like the one you see in the pictures.

    My nephew would love this ice cream since his all time favourite chocolate is Terry's Chocolate Orange. I need to make this for him this summer.
