Bitter Orange Ice Cream image

This is a Nigella Lawson recipe that I saw on her show last year and it looked good at the time but I never thought much more of it. I recently picked up her book Nigella Bites from the library and there it was again. It look so simple and so elegant and requires no special equipment. I am placing here for safe keeping. This is the original recipe as listed here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/bitter-orange-ice-cream-recipe/index.html

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 seville oranges (or 1 eating orange and 2 limes)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • If using the seville oranges, grate the zest of two of the oranges. Squeeze the juice of all three oranges into a bowl with the zest and sugar.
  • If using the one orange and two limes, grate the zest of the orange and one lime, juice all and add the sugar as before.
  • Stir to dissolve the sugar and add the heavy cream.
  • Whip everything until it holds soft peaks, and then turn into a shallow airtight container (approx 2 quarts) with a lid. Cover and freeze until firm, about 3 to 5 hours.
  • Remove to ripen for 15-20 minutes at room temperature or 30-40 minutes in the refrigerator before eating.
