Orange Ice Cream

Orange Ice Cream with Chocolate Syrup

Felicia's Orange Ice Cream

3C cream

1C milk

1C sugar (or less to taste)

7 egg yolks

zest of 2-3 oranges

Instructions (short version)

Steep zest in dairy with 1/2C sugar. Temper into eggs with other 1/2C sugar. Cool over ice bath. Strain. Churn.

I am adding the following recipe not because I've tried it but because it seems to be a basic flavored ice cream. As you can see the back-and-forth with the heat can be applied to any ice cream recipe. My version of orange ice cream involved heating the dairy before steeping the orange zest but not reheating it once the eggs were in. I suspect it would have had a creamier or fuller texture if I had. Try it?
