“We loved the Chocolate Caramel Ice Cream. Thanks. 
But can you make a Chocolate Orange Ice Cream?”
Dark Chocolate Orange Ice Cream
Adapted from The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz
- 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract
- Grated zest of 1 orange, preferably unsprayed
- Pinch of salt
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream, cocoa powder, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and grate the orange directly over the cream mixture.
Add chocolate and whisk until melted. Add in milk, orange and vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a blender and blend for 30 seconds, until smooth.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Makes about 1 litre
After letting the ice cream set overnight in the freezer, I give it a try. It tastes exactly as it was described to me. A velvety smooth dark chocolate flavor first presents itself. It is quickly followed by the sublime aroma and flavor of freshly sliced oranges that lingers as you take your next bite.
