Skip to contentfrom votesJump to RecipePrint RecipeIf you love that blend of vanilla and orange-flavored ice cream, you’re going to flip over this homemade Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream. It uses a custard-style base (with eggs) to make a creamy deliciously scoopable homemade ice cream that’s just as good as in your childhood memories.» You have to check out these amazing 47 ice cream recipes. You really should try creamy popcorn ice cream and birthday cake ice cream!I have always been a huge fan of orange creamsicle. I remember fondly eating popsicles with the lovely vanilla inside and fruity orange exterior. So good. My friends and I were remembering them the other day and that got me thinking that it probably wouldn’t be that difficult to recreate the magic in a homemade ice cream.Thus this recipe was created! I fell in love with it from the first scoop. Since the popsicle is two parts -vanilla and orange – I kept it that way for this ice cream. I made two different bases, which just added a few extra minutes of prep, and froze them in the same container, next to each other.Making two bases is up to you. If you don’t mind them being mixed together – so it’s more of an orange vanilla ice cream – then you can make just one mixture and churn it once. If you want the two different sides, you’ll need to do two separate churnings. See our notes in the recipe below for details.We use our ice cream maker for this recipe, so be sure to put the barrel in the freezer a day ahead so it’s good and frozen by the time you want to use it.JUMP TO:This ice cream uses a custard base, so it has egg yolks in it.I love this ice cream scoop. It’s a heavy-duty stainless steel scoop that’s easy to grip and it makes scooping so easy!Buy Now on AmazonWe use the same egg-based custard ice cream base for chocolate chocolate chip ice cream, cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip, and most of the other flavors of ice cream we make. It’s an easy base and it tastes great and very creamy.The other great part about using this base for everything is that it starts to become second nature to make it. There are quite a few steps to making custard-style ice cream, but it’s not hard, and it’s very much worth the effort.This recipe makes two ice cream parts – a vanilla and an orange – which are swirled together at the end. That is what gives you the “orange creamsicle” outcome. You don’t have to make it in two parts if you don’t want to.In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, 1 ½ cups of the heavy cream, salt, and half the sugar. Stir the mixture constantly as you bring it just to a simmer (do not boil it). Once it’s steaming, remove it from the heat.In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining sugar just until combined.To temper the eggs, slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk mixture in a drizzle into the egg mixture. Do this slowly so as not to cook the eggs.Pour the entire egg mixture back into the saucepan with the milk mixture. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.Remove the pot from the heat. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and let cool.Once cooled, divide the mixture into two bowls. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and vanilla into one bowl to make the vanilla base. Pour the orange zest and orange juice into the other bowl to make the orange base.Refrigerate both for at least two hours until cold.You will churn each base mixture separately, so pour the vanilla base into the ice cream maker and churn for 15 minutes. Transfer the vanilla ice cream to one side of a freezer safe container and freeze.Next pour the orange base into the ice cream maker (no need to refreeze or wash in between).&nbsp; Churn until the ice cream is thick, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer the orange ice cream to the other side of the freezer container. You can swirl them together slightly, if desired.Freeze the ice cream for at least 3 hours to set before serving.I’m often asked if it’s possible to use milk or cream or half and half interchangeably in an ice cream recipe. It is actually okay to do that. It will, however, change the final product. The creaminess and scoopability of the ice cream is what will be affected.If you use only milk, I would suggest only doing so with whole milk. 2% or lower fat milks don’t have enough fat to make a creamy ice cream. It will end up being a little icey and not easy to scoop.What I do most often is use whole milk and half and half to make a creamy, yet lower fat ice cream. I find this to be the best combination for my preference. You could use whole milk and cream if you like a creamier, thicker ice cream.So basically, you can use any combination of any of these products that you want. Maybe experiment with a few different combinations to find the one you like most.This ice cream recipe is made in the ice cream maker. It’s an easy way to churn the ice cream mixture to make it freeze faster and make it super creamy, so we prefer it.However you can still make it without an ice cream maker. At the end, mix in only half of the heavy cream and reserve the rest. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. When ready to eat, add the ice cream cubes to the blender with the remaining heavy cream and blend until smooth.Eggs add flavor, prevent ice crystallization, and create a smooth and creamy texture, so they are an important ingredient for delicious ice cream. You can make ice cream without eggs. Here is a vanilla ice cream recipe that doesn’t include eggs.You can leave the orange out of this ice cream and replace it with any other fruit or flavoring you like, if you want. I love the aromatics and flavor of fresh ripe peaches, but you could also use strawberries, blueberry, or mango.If you’re really wanting to make great ice cream at home, you have to invest in an ice cream maker. I’ve had the same one for many years and it’s never made a bad ice cream.The one I recommend is the Cuisinart 1.5 quart ice cream maker. It comes in a few different colors and it looks neat and tidy. You just have to keep to recipes that are small enough to fit, which shouldn’t be a problem.The Cuisinart ICE-70 Electronic Ice Cream Maker is a slightly more professional model that’s 2 quarts and has an LCD screen and 3 settings plus an improved paddle with faster processing time.50 Homemade Ice Cream Recipes for the Ice Cream Makerfrom votesCranberry Cream Cheese Bread with Walnutsfrom votesDelicious Chocolate Orange Cakefrom votesChocolate Lava Mug CakePin it!
