Serving Size: 6 people
DESCRIPTION
This orange creamsicle ice cream is creamy, zesty, and perfect for summer! You’ll just need 5 ingredients, most of which you probably already have, and it’s so easy to whip up. If creamsicles were your childhood favorite, you’ll love this homemade, dairy-free version!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cans (13.5) oz unsweetened full fat coconut milk chilled in the refrigerator overnight
- 1 can (11.25) oz sweetened condensed milk (dairy-free) I prefer the coconut or oat milk condensed milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 tablespoon orange zest grated from the orange
- ¼ teaspoon salt
METHOD
- Grate the zest from the oranges using a zester or a box grater.Note: Only remove the colored part of the orange (not the pith). The pith will have a bitter taste.
- Squeeze out the fresh juice from orange using a citrus squeezer.
- Scoop out the thick coconut cream from the chilled coconut milk cans, and place the cream into a blender cup.
- Add orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, maple syrup, salt and blend at a high speed till smooth and creamy.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a bread tin, cover with foil, and freeze for at least 6-8 hours or overnight until firm.
- Take the ice cream out of the freezer for about 1-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften. Note: It helps to wet your ice cream scooper in hot water before scooping.
