Creating your own Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream is easier than you might think. Here’s how you can make it at home:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract, freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Then, mix until everything is well incorporated.
3. Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Chill the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to enhance the flavor.
4. Prepare Ice Cream Maker: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your ice cream maker. Ensure it’s pre-frozen if required.
5. Churn Mixture: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-30 minutes until it thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6. Transfer to Container: Once the ice cream has thickened, transfer it to an airtight container.
7. Freeze: For a firmer texture, place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

These steps will yield a delightfully soft and creamy Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream that you and your loved ones can enjoy.
