2.5 cups half-and-half or light cream
4 egg yolks
Zest of 1 orange
1 tsp vanilla extract
Few drops of natural orange food coloring
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring the heavy cream and half-and-half to a simmer. Stir and remove from heat.
-
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light in color. Gradually add small amounts of the cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
-
Return the mixture to the stovetop and heat on low, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (170-175°F).
-
Pour the mixture into a container and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Stir in the remaining ingredients: stevia, orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange food coloring. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
-
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
-
Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The ice cream should reach the consistency of soft serve in about 20 minutes.
-
Enjoy immediately as soft serve or freeze for a firmer texture.
